What is Autoridade de Supervisao de Seguros e Fundos de Pensoes (ASF)?
In short
The Portuguese body that supervises insurers and pension funds, and publishes the register of authorised companies.
The Autoridade de Supervisao de Seguros e Fundos de Pensoes is the Portuguese authority that supervises insurers and pension funds and keeps the register of companies allowed to operate in the market. A registration number in a policy or insurer's legal notice tells you which entry to look up, so you can see the company is authorised and check the details recorded against it.
Two examples: ActivoBank lists 419501226 and Credito Agricola lists 1122. The number is a supervision signal only. Coverage limits, exclusions and the price of a policy are what a reader should weigh next.
