In Brazil, its second largest market, the Group’s partner is Caixa Econômica Federal, the country’s second-biggest state-owned bank.
The negotiation with BTG Pactual in Brazil comes after Life Insurance International reported in December 2014 that CNP Assurances had finalised the acquisition of 51% of Santander Consumer Finance’s life and non-life insurance subsidiaries after obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals.
Aside from its presence in France, CNP Assurances Group also has operations in other European countries and in Latin America, with a significant presence in Brazil. It has more than 28 million personal risk/protection insureds worldwide and more than 13m savings and pensions policyholders.
