A spokesperson said, “Compre, the independent specialist legacy acquirer, today announces it has received regulatory approval in principle from the Bermuda Monetary Authority [BMA] to establish a Class 3A reinsurer on the island. Compre will work with the BMA to finalise the registration and licensing of the reinsurer in the coming weeks.
