Company profile
researched Aug 2026Latú Seguros is a São Paulo-based insurtech operating as a Managing General Agent (MGA) — known in Brazil as a "Representante de Seguros" under CNSP Resolution 431/21 — specialising in financial lines insurance. Rather than acting as a broker or advisory firm, the company holds delegated authority from its carrier partner to underwrite risks and issue policies, adjust and pay claims, advise and assist policyholders, and provide logistical and operational support. Policies are issued by BS2 Seguros, the insurance arm of Banco BS2, and products are registered with SUSEP, the Brazilian private insurance regulator. [2]
The product set covers corporate lines including directors and officers (D&O), professional liability/errors and omissions (E&O), cyber and group life insurance, distributed through a digital platform for quoting, underwriting and policy management aimed at companies ranging from startups to large enterprises. [4] The company describes a technology-led approach to underwriting and risk management, and reports building a carrier system integrated with WhatsApp. [4] Its own materials position it as offering products without sub-limits, specialised technical support, an integrated digital platform and active cyber cover. [2]
The company's public website now displays only a wind-down notice, thanking customers for their trust over the course of its trajectory and directing policyholders who have opted to migrate to AIG to a dedicated support email address, alongside general contact email and WhatsApp channels. [0][1]
Business model
Latú Seguros operates as an MGA (Representante de Seguros in Brazil), contracting with an insurance carrier — BS2 Seguros of Banco BS2 — to act on the carrier's behalf across risk underwriting and policy issuance, claims adjustment and payment, policyholder guidance and operational support. Products are backed by reinsurers and the company states it is neither a brokerage nor an advisory firm. [2]
Traction
The company reports more than 700 partner brokerages, including large international and Brazilian brokers. Its Lloyd's Lab participation is associated with the launch of a broker channel, a broker beta testing programme and the filing of a new version of its insurance products with the regulator. Its carrier partner BS2 Seguros is cited as having issued more than R$100 million in premiums and paid more than R$4 million in claims in 2024. [2][4]
