LIST OF INSURANCE COMPANIES IN MALAYSIA
List of insurance companies in Malaysia As we have previously explained before on this website, insurance is a kind of investment against risk. It is a forward-thinking plan which a person makes ahead of the day of trouble, to reduce the effects of his loss. Insurance can be further explained as an agreement between two parties in which one party agree to pay a certain amount of money if or when the other party should suffer a loss. Life insurance is a particular kind of insurance in which a person agrees to pay a regular premium so that in the event of his death, a previously agreed sum of money will be paid to his family or any other elected beneficiary.
There are various types of insurance; life insurance, fire insurance, property insurance, health insurance, motor vehicle insurance, third party vehicle insurance, burglary insurance, and so on.

Those are the Malaysian insurance companies. But who is responsible for the regulation of the Malaysian insurance industry? There are two main agencies: The Malaysian insurance industry is regulated by BNM, which in turn is regulated by the Ministry of Finance.
The life and non-life sections of the insurance businesses in Malaysia are regulated by the provisions of the FSA, and that came into force on June 30, 2022.2023
The Malaysian government permits Foreign Direct Investment up to a limit of 70% in the insurance industry and that is one of the highest in the world. However, Composite insurance is not permitted in Malaysia.

Motor Vehicle third-party liability insurance and also workmen’s compensation insurance is compulsory by an act of law in Malaysia.
The Financial Services Act of 2022 Malay: Akta Perkhidmatan Kewangan 2022, is a Malaysian law which was enacted to provide for the regulation and supervision of financial institutions, payment systems and also other relevant financial entities. They are also charged with the oversight of the money market and also the foreign exchange market to ensure financial stability and also to ensure sanity and fair treatment within the financial system.
The Financial Services Act of 2022 (FSA) and the Islamic Financial Services Act of 2023 (known as IFSA) are the two of the most significant pieces of legislation that affect the financial services industry in Malaysia. Both legislation received Royal approval and were ratified on March 2022. The FSA consolidates and replaces the Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 1989, the Payment Systems Act 2023, and also the Insurance Act 1996 and not forgetting the Exchange Control Act 1953. On the other hand, the IFSA consolidates and repeals the Islamic Banking Act 1983 and the Takaful Act 1984 these are unique laws that set Malaysia apart from other countries in the region, and other countries with a similarly structured Islamic population.
Both Laws were introduced to regulate and supervise the financial institutions, payment systems and other such financial entities, as well as provide oversight of the money market and the foreign exchange market. Their main regulatory duty is to promote financial stability by fostering the safety and viability of financial institutions, the strength of the money market and foreign exchange market, as well as business conduct of financial institutions, and very important consumer protection.
Let us now examine briefly the setup of the FSA and the IFSA.
- The Financial Services Act of 2022
Financial Holding Company. The FSA enables the financial regulator, namely the Central Bank of Malaysia, and also commonly known as Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), to exercise oversight functions over financial institutions by introducing and mandating the concept of a Financial Holding Company (FHC).
An FHC sometimes called a Parent Company is defined as a company which holds an aggregate of more than 50 percent interest in the value of shares in a licensed business entity, or holds a total of less than 50 percent of shares but which has control of a licensed business entity. Furthermore, the FHC must be approved by BNM to be an FHC or a Parent Company.
FHCs that are based outside Malaysia may not be directly controlled by the FSA as the Act does not provide the BNM with extra-territorial powers to enforce the FSA Law outside Malaysian land. However, BNM may however require its local licensed entity to propose another company to be approved as an FHC for operations in Malaysia. BNM has the authority to approve more than one company within a group as a Parent Company.
Consumer protection and proper (fair) business conduct. The FSA grants BNM the authority to undertake various actions to ensure fairness within the financial services providers sector, they also ensure that companies are responsible and professional when dealing with financial customers. The Financial services providers are also governed by the standard of prohibited business conduct as tabled under Schedule 7 of the Law. Any contravention of these laws will attract a hefty fine of no more than RM10 million, or imprisonment, or sometimes both. Institutions are expressly forbidden from exerting undue pressure and influence on consumers when marketing products to make debt repayments and to collude with any other persons to push any financial product or service.
- The Islamic Financial Services Act 2023
Apart from the main objective of the IFSA discussed above, the IFSA also aims to ensure compliance with Shariah principles or Islamic Financial systems. To achieve this, it increases BNM’s role as Shariah regulator, and imposes tough requirements on Shariah governance mechanisms and also caters to the tenets of Islamic financial principles and laws and operations which are based upon various types of Shariah business contracts.
Shariah governance and compliance thereof. The IFSA intends to increase the foundations for end-to-end Shariah financial governance and also compliance, they also support the effective application of Islamic financial contracts in the offering of Islamic financial solutions and services, starting from entering into a contract to the dissolution of a failed Islamic financial institution.
The main difference between the FSA and the IFSA is in the IFSA’s extensive requirements on Shariah governance and also ensuring Shariah law compliance. The IFSA by an act of law enforces the management of Shariah non-compliance. They also watch risk and requires Islamic financial institutions to ensure that their aims, way of operations, business dealings, affairs, and activities are also in compliance with Shariah legal principles at all times. Specifically, the IFSA: (i) entrenches the job of BNM as Shariah regulator; (ii) it also embeds Shariah principles and BNM Shariah Advisory Council (SAC) rulings; (iii) the IFSA also strengthens Shariah governance and compliance requirements; (iv) makes it a contravention of law for IFIs to carry on Shariah non-compliant activities and imposes heavy fines in relation to Shariah compliance matters; and (v) It also gives BNM wide powers to assess, peruse, investigate, intervene, direct and penalise Islamic Financial Institutions who make offences and breach of IFSA provisions.
