Pacifico Seguros

Pacifico Seguros is a Peruvian insurance and reinsurance company headquartered in Lima and operating as a subsidiary of Credicorp, one of Peru’s largest financial holding groups. The company is described as one of the leading insurers in Peru and among the larger insurance businesses in Latin America. Its current corporate identity dates from 1992, when El Pacifico Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros, established in 1943, merged with Peruano Suiza Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros, established in 1948. The merger brought together two established Peruvian insurance operations and created the business now known as Pacifico Seguros. Pacifico’s activities cover both insurance and reinsurance, with offerings directed at households, individuals, businesses, and other institutional customers. Personal lines include health, automobile, life, home, travel, personal accident, pension, and annuity products. The company also provides commercial coverage for corporate assets and operational risks, including property and heritage-related risks, engineering, transport, aviation, and maritime insurance. This breadth gives Pacifico a position across both retail financial protection and specialized commercial underwriting. The company’s headquarters are located on Juan de Arona Avenue in Lima’s San Isidro district, a major business area of the Peruvian capital. Pacifico is part of Credicorp rather than an independent financial group, linking its insurance activities to a wider Peruvian financial-services platform. Publicly available reference material identifies the company’s shares with the Lima Stock Exchange ticker PSUIZAC1. The available source material does not establish a separate international operating network, so Peru is the confirmed operating market for this entry. Pacifico’s brand proposition is centered on risk protection, financial security, and a broad portfolio capable of serving both personal and corporate insurance needs. Its business scope extends beyond standard consumer policies into reinsurance and specialized sector coverage, including transport, aviation, maritime, and engineering risks. The supplied references do not provide sufficient information to document specific advertising campaigns, detailed leadership changes, financial results, or later strategic transactions without speculation.

Pacifico Seguros traces its institutional roots to two earlier Peruvian insurance companies. El Pacifico Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros was founded in 1943, while Peruano Suiza Compañía de Seguros y Reaseguros was founded in 1948. Both companies operated in Peru’s insurance market before being combined in 1992. The merger established the modern Pacifico Seguros organization and created a business with a wider base across insurance and reinsurance activities. Following its formation, Pacifico developed a portfolio serving both private customers and companies. Its personal insurance activities include health, automobile, life, home, travel, pension, annuity, and personal accident coverage. Its corporate business addresses risks associated with company assets and operations, including property, engineering, transport, aviation, and maritime exposures. This combination of consumer and commercial insurance has remained central to the company’s identity. Pacifico later became part of Credicorp, a major Peruvian financial holding group. Its position within Credicorp connects the insurer to a broader financial-services ecosystem while preserving its role as a dedicated insurance and reinsurance business. The company’s corporate headquarters are in Lima’s San Isidro district at 830 Juan de Arona Avenue. Public reference material identifies Pacifico as a leading insurer in Peru and one of the larger insurance companies in Latin America. It also identifies the company as listed on the Lima Stock Exchange under ticker PSUIZAC1. The supplied sources do not provide a detailed account of subsequent acquisitions, leadership appointments, financial performance, international expansion, or brand campaigns. Accordingly, those aspects are not expanded here.
