Financial services companies in Brazil

There are 530,207 companies in ISIC section K (financial and insurance activities) in Brazil, all active. The section is 4.8% of the 10,933,117 Brazilian records we hold from the Receita Federal (CNPJ registry), extracted 2026-10-10. The largest divisions are 64 (financial service activities, except insurance and pension funding, 392,106) and 66 (activities auxiliary to financial service and insurance activities, 131,415); one further division completes it. By state, São Paulo leads with 174,016 (33% of the section), followed by Exterior (63,351) and Minas Gerais (48,520).

The operating institutions are a minority of this section: holding companies (ISIC 6420) and investment funds and trusts (6430) make up most of division 64 in Brazil, Chile and Peru. The LATAM Financial Services package removes those two classes; on this page the counts include them. Banks, credit co-operatives, payment institutions, brokers, insurers and asset managers are what payments infrastructure, KYC/AML, core-banking and insurtech vendors come here for. In Brazil, 54% of these rows carry an ISIC class; size is known for 28%; 24.5% have a corporate domain or HTTP-verified website; 84,798 were registered in the 12 months before the extraction. Brazilian rows are active establishments; 485,260 of them are head offices in the clean B2B universe (private, not sole-owner, name unmasked).
