Regulatory updates
ÖSA is supervised by BaFin (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) as a public-law competition insurer operating beyond the borders of a single federal state. No specific enforcement actions or sanctions against ÖSA were found. On an industry level, BaFin reported a sharp rise in consumer complaints against German insurers in 2025 (14,285 complaints, up from 8,806 in 2024), driven mainly by claims-handling delays, particularly in motor and health insurance, though BaFin attributed most of the increase to a single unrelated case rather than an industry-wide trend. Corporately, ÖSA's ownership structure changed effective 1 January 2020, when VGH (Landschaftliche Brandkasse Hannover) became the sole sponsor/owner of ÖSA, having previously held only 35% alongside the Sparkassenbeteiligungsverband Sachsen-Anhalt (50%) and Öffentliche Versicherung Braunschweig (15%).
