MetLife Acquires 20% Stake in LatAm Insurtech Klimber
Global insurer MetLife has acquired a 20 percent stake in insurtech firm Klimber, marking a strategic partnership aimed at transforming how insurance is accessed and distributed across Latin America.

Klimber said the investment strengthens its position in the rapidly evolving digital insurance landscape in the region. The company’s platform enables partners in banking, retail, fintech and e-commerce to seamlessly integrate and distribute insurance products. Its proprietary technology, powered by data and artificial intelligence, is designed to simplify the insurance process from underwriting to customer experience.

“We founded Klimber with the mission of making insurance simple, scalable, and accessible through the use of data and artificial intelligence,” said Julián Bersano, Klimber Global CEO. “Today, seeing more than 13.9 million people protected and nearly 300 million dollars in managed premiums is concrete proof of that vision. Our platform is helping transform insurance underwriting and the customer experience, expanding access to protection in under-penetrated markets.”

Naomi Johnson, Director of Business Transformation and Innovation at MetLife Latin America, described the investment as a reflection of the company’s growth strategy. “This investment reflects MetLife’s New Frontier strategy in action: supporting innovation, driving growth, and democratizing access to insurance in Latin America.”

The partnership between Klimber and MetLife underscores a shared ambition to close protection gaps and expand insurance penetration in the region.
