Licensed insurance companies in the Seychelles (2026)
VerifiedVerified against the FSA register, checked 2 Sept 2026.
The 16 insurance companies licensed in the Seychelles in 2026, as recorded by the Financial Services Authority (FSA), with the class of business and ownership each one is registered under.
Snapshot
By class of business
Each company is counted once, under the class its register row records. The supervisor’s own tally counts licences, so a company licensed for more than one class appears more than once there.
By ownership
“Cross-border groups” counts foreign multinationals and pan-regional groups; “domestically owned” counts domestic private, state-owned, mutual and captive entities. The register records the parent’s type, not its home market. How ownership is recorded
