K 64–66

Banks, insurers and insurance brokers in Belgium

Banks, insurance companies, insurance brokers and agents, credit intermediaries and wealth managers: for software vendors, service providers and partners who want to reach this group by post or enrich their CRM.

Our Belgian database holds 779,149 records (as of 5 November 2026); they are not yet assigned to industries. The quote states the size available for this industry.

Export of the whole industry: €279 (excluding VAT). Selections by province, municipality or your own filters are quoted on request.

Official statistics: 16,290 businesses in Belgium according to Eurostat, Structural Business Statistics (sbs_ovw_act), number of enterprises (reference year 2024, Eurostat update of 30 September 2026, retrieved on 4 November 2026). Section K financial and insurance activities (divisions 64 to 66), including insurance brokers and agents. This is the size of the market, not the size of our database.

What counts as Finance and insurance

The industry corresponds to NACE-BEL section K. Most of it is not banks but offices in division 66: independent insurance brokers and agents, credit intermediaries and other auxiliary financial services. A broker’s office in a provincial town is a typical record.

Large banks and insurers are few but have many offices. In the KBO every office has its own establishment unit with its own number; our export shows the establishment as it appears in the source, not automatically every agency.

Supervision and registers: public, but not an address file

Public registers exist for financial intermediaries. They show whether someone may act, not how to reach an office.

FSMA
The FSMA (Financial Services and Markets Authority) keeps its own register of insurance and credit intermediaries. We do not use it as a source; if you want to check a registration, look it up there office by office.
KBO
Every bank, insurer or broker with an enterprise number is in the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises (KBO/BCE). KBO Public Search lets you look up one business at a time. We do not use KBO Open Data: the download requires registration.
Independent brokers
Many brokerages are sole traders or small BVs/SRLs carrying the manager’s name. For a sole trader, the data are personal data; the information duty and the right to object apply.

Not in the export

  • FSMA registration number of the intermediary
  • list of insurers represented
  • portfolio, premium income or number of clients
  • names of managers and staff
  • mobile numbers of individual advisers

These 14 columns are included.

Broker or insurer: how to sharpen the selection

Anyone selling software or services to brokers usually wants 66.22 only and no banks. Conversely, anyone looking for bank branches often finds an office filed under another number of the same bank. Tell us in your request which of the two you need.

Many head offices of insurers and banks are in Brussels, while brokers are spread across Flanders and Wallonia. A selection by province therefore gives a different picture from a selection by region.

Under the Royal Decree of 4 April 2003, an email without prior consent may only go to an impersonal address of a legal entity (info@, office@), with an offer intended for legal entities. The address firstname@broker.be or the address of a sole trader requires consent. The e_mail_type column helps you separate these addresses.

Questions

Finance and insurance: frequently asked questions

Yes, on request, based on the category and the name in the source (in the statistics, class 66.22). Our records do not yet carry a NACE-BEL code; before quoting we tell you how reliable this selection is.

Telephone prospecting to businesses is allowed in Belgium, but you must first check the numbers against the Do Not Call Me list (Bel-Me-Niet-Meer); this also applies to B2B campaigns. More: telemarketing to businesses and the Do Not Call Me list.

No. We do not use the FSMA register as a source. We do not yet link enterprise numbers found on websites to the records; the column is empty for now. You can check a registration in the FSMA register itself.
