The story
Sompo Seguros is a legacy Brazilian commercial insurance carrier (founded 1943) now operating as a subsidiary of Sompo International within the Sompo Holdings Group. Its embedded-finance footprint is limited: it is a regulated insurer selling commercial P&C lines (agriculture, marine, engineering, D&O, surety) through brokers, not a fintech platform. Recent modernization has come via a Sensedia-powered API developer portal exposing policy payment status, refunds, and Brazil's regulatory Open Insurance endpoints — infrastructure to plug brokers and partners into Sompo, not a BaaS play.
