Verification
Verified against the regulator register · EIOPA export, 498 domestic undertakings / 3rd-country branches

Governing legislation

  • Financial Services Supervision Act (FinDAG), section 1 · Establishes BaFin

    Section 1 establishes BaFin as a federal public-law institution from 1 May 2002, combining the former banking, insurance and securities supervisory offices.

  • Insurance Supervision Act (VAG) · Insurance supervision framework

    BaFin applies the VAG to insurance undertakings, together with Solvency II requirements and its published supervisory guidance.

Verification log

Class and group inferred from name - see Master List basis columns. The Source count is the EIOPA export for this market; the published total is 499 because one Art. 162 third-country branch (Helvetia's German branch, head office Switzerland) is assigned here from its head-office code, not because a row is missing.
