About Insuritas

Insuritas pioneered the deployment of virtual “private labeled” insurance agencies that are integrated into bank and credit union operating environments – currently connected to over 8.4 million consumers and over 1.2 million small businesses. The Insuritas solution, which is now installed in over 150 financial institutions, includes four core technology platforms that transform the shopping experience for millions of consumers for the insurance products they purchase and repurchase every year.  Insuritas enables financial institutions to own an insurance agency solution without the significant capital investments required to build or buy an agency, or the inherent operational risks attendant to either of those approaches.  Through a cost-effective partnership solution, financial institutions leverage Insuritas’ proven, end-to-end insurance agency solution.
