The story

Icatu Seguros is Brazil's largest independent insurer, focused on life insurance, private pension (previdência), and capitalization titles, with more than R$52B AUM and 6.5M+ customers. Its embedded-finance story is built around distribution: a public API hub ('Hub da Icatu') with 100+ APIs positioning it as an insurance-as-a-service supplier to banks, brokers, and fintechs; a pension-collateralized personal loan product (Icatu Crédito Protegido Prev); and a fintech partnership with Onze to embed previdência into workplace benefits. Recent investments target AI (the A.V.I. broker assistant on WhatsApp) and ISO 27701 privacy governance.
