SSN Argentina
National Superintendence of Insurance
The National Superintendence of Insurance (SSN) is a decentralized public entity dependent on the Ministry of Economy and Production. Its main purpose is to supervise the insurance and reinsurance entities in Argentina in order to guarantee a solvent, stable, and efficient market that protects the interests of the insured.
Furthermore, the National Superintendence of Insurance grants authorizations for the operation of new entities and ensures the proper compliance with current norms and regulations. It is also responsible for conducting market surveys, evaluations, control and inspection of insurance carriers, and for providing information and advice to the insured.
More information: www.ssn.gob.ar
The origins of the Superintendence go back to the 18th century in Buenos Aires, at which time and place the first insurance agencies of both Spanish and English descent were settled alongside the Río de La Plata. As the Spanish Viceroyalty expanded, a Royal Consulate was formed in 1974 in order to promote the growth of the insurance activity. It was only by the 19th century that the real need for a regulatory framework became evident due to the increasing complexity of the industry. By March 1890, a group of corporate inspectors began overseeing the administrative tasks performed by insurance companies. This group performed inspections until 1897, the year in which the General Corporate Inspections was established. This entity later became the existing General Inspection of Justice. In the 20th century, the national government decided to exercise a more protectionist role and thus gave birth to the Superintendence of Insurance by Decree Number 108.295 in June 1937. The entity formally started operating in 1938.
