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
FSC / FSS register rows
All 45 entities.

Verification log
45 rows against the FSS count of 52 domestic insurers, so the market is not complete and names are not register-checked. Refreshed 9 Sep 2026: removed Allianz Life Korea (sold 2016 and renamed ABL Life, which is listed) and Prudential Life Korea (merged into KB Life in 2023, which is listed); both rows carried the exit in the company name itself
