What is Central Bank of the UAE?

The Central Bank of the UAE is the authority that licenses and supervises insurers working in the Emirates, so its register is the first place to look when you want to know who stands behind a policy. A licence number settles the question quickly, because it ties the brand on your quotation to a licensed legal entity. Lookinsure appears in that register as 19, and Policybazaar.ae as 123. Check the number against the wording of your policy and keep a copy. The same number is useful later if a claim is delayed or a premium is taken after a cooling-off period has passed.
