Information on the target
Fidelidade has been present in Macau since 1999, operating through two branches: one focused on Life Insurance and Pension Fund Management, and the other on General Insurance. In late 2015, Fidelidade Macau - Companhia de Seguros, S.A. was established, transferring the non-life insurance portfolio from the now-extinct branch. This new entity has since developed its activities in the non-life insurance sector. In March 2020, after 20 years of providing Life Insurance and Pension Fund services in Macau as a branch of Fidelidade - Companhia de Seguros S.A., a subsidiary named Fidelidade Macau Vida — Companhia de Seguros, S.A. was created, further solidifying its corporate presence in the region.
Currently, Fidelidade operates primarily through the banking channel in partnership with BNU, as well as through brokers and direct channels, targeting both individual and corporate segments. The company also serves large businesses in Macau, including casinos, hotels, and resorts, covering risks related to property damage and civil and professional liability, among others.
