Short answerChecked 31 October 2026
IRA Kenya's notice of licensed entities dated 30 March 2026 names 181 insurance brokers (licence numbers IRA/06/…/2026), plus 25 reinsurance brokers and 32 medical insurance providers. A broker places your insurance with an insurer and is paid a commission; the law treats a medical insurance provider as a broker for medical cover. Only a broker or agent registered with IRA may do this business (Insurance Act, s.150), and an intermediary may not receive your premium on the insurer's behalf (s.156): pay the insurer. Agents are not printed in the notice: look them up in IRA's online registry.

Broker, agent or medical insurance provider
| What the law says | Where to check | |
|---|---|---|
| Insurance broker | "An intermediary involved with the placing of insurance business with an insurer or reinsurer for or in expectation of payment by way of brokerage commission" — s.2 | Named one by one in the 2026 notice |
| Medical insurance provider | Anyone placing medical insurance with an insurer for a commission or fee must register as one; the broker rules apply to it — s.150A | The 2026 notice (32 names) and the registry |
| Insurance agent | May not carry on the business unless registered under the Act — s.150 | Not printed in the notice: search the registry by name or licence number |
Using the name "broker" or "agent" without being registered is an offence: a fine of up to KES 50,000, and more for a continuing offence (Insurance Act s.150(2) and (4)).
How to check a broker or agent before you sign
- Find the broker's exact company name in the list above or in IRA's 2026 notice.
- For an agent, a bancassurance agent or a medical insurance provider, search IRA's registry of licensed entities.
- Ask which insurer will carry the risk and check it on the list of licensed insurance companies.
- Pay the insurer, keep the receipt, and if something goes wrong write to the broker and the insurer, then to IRA: see how to complain.

Frequently asked questions
How many insurance brokers are licensed in Kenya in 2026?

Where do I find IRA licensed agents for 2026?

Can I pay my premium to the broker?
No. Under section 156(2) of the Insurance Act an intermediary may not receive premiums on behalf of an insurer, and no insurer assumes the risk until it has received the premium. Pay the insurer's own paybill or account.
Who pays the insurance broker in Kenya?
The insurer pays the broker a commission, which it must pay within 30 days of receiving your premium (Insurance Act s.156(5)).
Which is the largest insurance broker in Kenya?
IRA's notice lists brokers alphabetically and publishes no ranking by size, so this page does not rank them either.
