These case studies on microinsurance innovation in Brazil forms part of a series of case studies on alternative, innovative microinsurance distribution models prepared for the International Labour Organization’s Microinsurance Innovation Facility. These case studies are focused on retailer, utility and telecomunications distribution of microinsurance. The first case study covers the partnerships between Mapfre, an insurance company, and Casas Bahia and Vivo, a white-label goods retailer company and mobile phone operator.

This case study focuses on the retailer-based distribution channel and, more specifically, the role that Mapfre Seguros and its retail partners have played in the development of this model.
