The name Fidelidade Mundial thus results from the merger in 2002 of the insurance companies Fidelidade and Mundial Confiança. This was followed in 2012 by the merger of Fidelidade Mundial and Império Bonança, giving rise to Fidelidade - Companhia de Seguros, S.A.. In 2011, Fidelidade started its activity in
