As the bank of choice for 30 of the top 100 property and casualty brokers in the U.S., we have a proven track record of providing the resources and expertise that agencies need to thrive.

A dedicated team with extensive industry experience

The last 10 years have brought significant changes to the competitive environment, including:

  • Increased enterprise valuations

  • An interest rate environment that raised the cost of capital to levels not seen since the turn of the century
