The story
Traditionally an agent-and-franchise-led individual and group life insurer (Life Planner model, 2,300+ franchised units), Prudential do Brasil is aggressively expanding into embedded insurance in 2024-2026 through partnerships with Brazilian fintech distributors — Mercado Pago, RecargaPay and 123Seguro — offering mass-market credit-life and expense-protection products at checkout inside partner apps. Open Insurance (Opin) participation positions it to consume shared consumer insurance data under SUSEP's regime.
