Mapfre Msv Life

Mapfre Msv Life p.l.c. is the life assurance company within the Mapfre Malta group, and this directory entry covers its head office on The Mall in Floriana. The same website serves both the life business and the group's general insurer, Mapfre Malta p.l.c., so one visit shows the whole range: protection, savings, investments and pensions on the life side, plus cover for cars, homes, trips, health, boats and businesses.

The group is based in Malta and its website is aimed at risks and commitments here, which is worth knowing if you are a UK resident buying a home, living or running a company on the islands. We list it under our insurance providers in Malta and pension advisors in Malta.

Life assurance, savings and pensions

Mapfre Msv Life is the leading life assurance company in Malta. Its long-term products are grouped into protection, regular savings, single premium investments and personal pensions. Protection plans pay out on the events they are written to cover, regular savings let you build up money in instalments, and single premium investments suit people with a lump sum to put away. Personal pensions are for building retirement income.

The online area for life customers includes fund prices, a funds chartbook, a retirement planning calculator, illustrative maturity values, documents and forms and a customer charter. For anyone comparing how pensions and savings work in Malta, our Malta financial services guide explains the wider sector, and our Malta tax guide for UK nationals is a sensible companion read before you commit money.

General insurance and cover for businesses

The wider Mapfre Malta group covers all the non-life classes written in Malta. Individuals can choose motor, electric vehicle, home, travel, health, boat and pet insurance, as well as a plan called Max Protect. For employers and company owners there are business protection plans, business and SME insurance, professional indemnity, directors and officers cover and employee benefits such as workplace pensions, group health, group personal accident and group life.

If something goes wrong, claims routes are set out for motor, home, travel, health, boat and business policies, with a network of authorised repairers and the Middlesea Assist service. The group sells through its own offices and through agents and intermediaries. Pet owners, drivers, travellers and homeowners can request a quote online, and there is a roadside assistance service and a 24 hour emergency assist line for motor customers.

Background, ownership and regulation

Mapfre Malta was registered in 1981 as the first Maltese insurance company writing general business, and began life business in 1983. In 1994 it became the first insurer listed on the Malta Stock Exchange and set up a life company with Bank of Valletta, which is now Mapfre Msv Life. Mapfre Internacional took a majority shareholding in 2011, making the company part of the international Mapfre group, and the name changed to Mapfre Malta p.l.c. in 2015.

Both Mapfre Malta p.l.c. and Mapfre Msv Life p.l.c. are authorised and regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) under the Insurance Business Act. Bank of Valletta remains a major shareholder alongside Mapfre, and a share of the company is also held by the general public.

The group is guided by solvency, integrity, a vocation for service, innovation and a committed team, with an aim of being the most trusted insurer. Mapfre Malta is part of an international group present in 49 countries, which supports the range of products offered locally.
