The National Insurance Commission has granted an operational licence to CBI Partnering Insurtech Ltd, making it the first fully licensed partnering insurtech company in Nigeria under the country’s evolving insurance regulatory framework.

The commission said the development reflects its commitment to promoting innovation while maintaining market integrity and protecting policyholders.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, NAICOM said the licence was formally presented to the company during a handover ceremony where the commission reaffirmed its dedication to innovation, regulatory reforms, and consumer protection within the insurance industry.

The commission noted that the approval comes amid efforts to modernise the sector through the implementation of the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act 2025 and the introduction of specialised guidelines for insurance technology firms.
