What Nacional Seguros does

Nacional Seguros is a multi-line private insurance company headquartered in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, operating as the insurance arm of Grupo Empresarial de Inversiones Nacional Vida S.A. (GNI), a Bolivian conglomerate founded in 1996. The insurer originated from a 1999 spin-off of the life and health division of Empresa Nacional de Seguros (then owned by Banco Nacional de Bolivia), was acquired by its current investor group in 2004-2005, and now operates two licensed carriers — Nacional Seguros Vida y Salud S.A. and Nacional Seguros Patrimoniales y Fianzas S.A. (created in 2007). The Vida y Salud entity specializes in life, health, personal accident, retirement savings, and group employee benefit products; the Patrimoniales entity covers auto, property, technical lines, transportation, civil liability, and surety bonds.

The product portfolio spans core retail and group products (Vida Flexible Oro, Vida 365, Salud Flexible, Salud Flexible Mundial, Salud Global Plus, Accidentes Personales, Casa Protegida, Autotal, Ramos Técnicos, Responsabilidad Civil, Pólizas de Garantía) alongside a series of digitally native innovations including Hogar Cash Back (refund-guaranteed home insurance), Auto x Km (usage-based auto insurance with mobile app km-tracking), Vive Seguro (AI-driven digital health portal offering facial biometric health scanning and unlimited virtual consultations), and Alto (gender-based violence protection integrated with a third-party SOS app). Technology infrastructure centers on the IN MOTION core insurance system (in phased rollout, with health at 60% completion by 2023), the Mi Tracking virtual claims office, the 123asegurate.com.bo e-commerce platform, and integrations with payment providers (Multipago, Tigo Money) and reinsurance partners (Swiss Re, Munich Re, Gen Re, IRB Brasil RE, Korea Re, Hannover Re, Patria Re, PartnerRe, Navigators).

The business model is recurring-premium-driven across life/health, P&C, microinsurance, and bancassurance. Distribution combines direct (12 offices across all 9 Bolivian departments + El Alto, digital self-service, WhatsApp 24/7), agent-based (1,000+ independent agents), and partner-based (bancassurance with Banco Nacional, Banco de Crédito, Banco Ganadero, Banco Mercantil Santa Cruz, Banco Prodem, Banco FIE; retail/utility payment points with Farmacorp, Hipermaxi, Fidalga). Group-wide revenue exceeded $185 million in 2023 (with Vida y Salud contributing $131 million), the company serves over 1 million policyholders, holds 26% market share in personal insurance, and maintains 2.39x solvency margin above technical equity requirements. The group also operates Clinicas de las Américas (healthcare), Conecta (contact center), Fenix Seguros (Paraguay, acquired 2018), MADISA (consumer goods distribution), Tecorp, and Xperience.
