Banco Inter is set to become the sole owner of Inter Seguros after Wiz Co agreed to sell its 39.75% stake for R$409.5 million in cash. The move puts the bank in charge of how insurance products are offered directly inside its app and alongside its cards.

The deal still needs approval from Brazil's Central Bank and CADE, but it opens the door to shorter purchase journeys, more personalized offers, and potentially sharper pricing. Existing policies remain valid and unchanged for now.

Inter just signed a deal to acquire the remaining 39.75% stake held by Wiz Co in Inter Seguros for R$ 409.5 million, moving to sole ownership of an insurance operation with more than 9 million active contracts. The transaction still needs the green light from Brazil's Central Bank and antitrust body CADE.

The insurance arm delivered R$ 37.4 million in net profit in the second quarter of 2026, a 35% jump year over year, and runs fully inside the bank's super app alongside digital accounts, credit, investments and a marketplace serving more than 45 million customers across the Americas.

Buying out the minority stake gives Inter a faster runway to launch new products and keep the flywheel spinning, where each service pulls customers deeper into the ecosystem while digitally native insurance pushes higher margins with simpler protection for everyday users.

Brazil's federal government has rolled out a free online service that lets any citizen check whether insurance policies are registered under their CPF. Run by Susep, the tool pulls data from authorized insurers and works through a gov.br account at Prata or Ouro level.

The system covers auto, home, life, and other policies, but leaves out health plans, private pensions, capitalization titles, and products like VGBL. Results are valid for one day and can help people find forgotten coverage or confirm that a policy was properly registered.

If something looks wrong, Susep advises contacting the insurer first and then escalating through the Fala.BR ombudsman channel. It is a simple, free step toward more transparency in Brazil's insurance market.
