Licensed insurance companies in Singapore (2026)
VerifiedVerified against the MAS register, checked 4 Sept 2026.
The 205 insurance companies licensed in Singapore in 2026, as recorded by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), 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

Verification log
Reconciled against the MAS Financial Institutions Directory (22 Sep 2026, 221 licensed insurers/reinsurers incl. 86 captives, 17 Lloyd's Asia Scheme entities and 8 special purpose reinsurance vehicles): 43 rows matched, 162 added, 3 removed as not on the directory (Liberty Insurance, reported transferred to Liberty Pte. Ltd. on 1 Jan 2026 but not confirmed from a retrieved page; Bupa Global; Zurich Life), 7 class codes corrected to the MAS licence type. The 16 Lloyd's Asia Scheme service companies are counted once, under the Lloyd's Asia row, because they underwrite for Lloyd's syndicates rather than as insurers in their own right.
