Local offices, community agents and a strong parent company to back it up. That’s what QBE Regional Insurance is all about.
QBE Regional Insurance believes that business is done best at a local level, by people who understand their local markets. Through our insurance subsidiaries, Farmers Union, General Casualty, QBE Agri and Unigard, we keep our underwriters and claims adjusters close to agents and policyholders. We also empower our in-the-field leaders to make the best decisions for their territories.
Local ties
At General Casualty, Unigard and QBE Agri, we’ve always sold our products exclusively through independent community agents. Today our network totals nearly 2,000 agencies. We believe that local agents, who are members of the community and sell insurance from a variety of carriers, can give their customers unparalleled expertise and service. We think our customers would rather buy insurance face-to-face from a local businessperson than from a phone operator in another state.
Farmers Union insurance agents are exclusively licensed through farming advocacy group National Farmers Union. They work in tandem to help rural residents and farm owners secure comprehensive insurance coverage.
Financial strength
While our focus is local, our agents know they have the financial backing of a multi-billion-dollar organization through our affiliation with the worldwide Australia-based QBE Insurance Group. Unlike a typical regional carrier, our agents count on us to write their agency’s largest commercial accounts because of the services and stability we’re able to offer them. This approach sets us apart, and it’s been the key to our success. That’s the super-regional difference.
Focused on our communities
Business success for our agents and ourselves is only part of the picture. Our commitment to local offices and personal relationships extends to a strong belief that companies and their employees should make the communities in which they do business stronger. At QBE Regional Insurance, we invest in community needs and worthy charitable causes. We encourage our employees to volunteer their time, and we make it easy for them to get involved through a multitude of ongoing volunteer opportunities coordinated by representatives in our regional and field offices. We know that working together always leads to something greater, and we’ve built a workforce of dedicated employees who feel the same way.
