Insuritas, the nation’s premier provider of financial institution owned insurance agencies, announced it has been hired by Fortera Credit Union to install their award-winning insurance agency solution for Fortera’s over 52,000 members.

Tom Kane, CEO of Fortera Credit Union stated: “Our members look to us to provide all the financial products they need in a one stop shopping solution that focuses on price, convenience and service. We are committed to insurance with the same passion and energy we have for deposit gathering and loan growth. Partnering with Insuritas will allow us to deliver a full suite of insurance solutions to our members all through an agency we own.” Kane concluded, “We are launching a full service insurance agency because our members lie at the heart of everything we do and we are committed to supporting our members wherever life takes them.”

Jeff Chesky, President and CEO of Insuritas, noted: “Fortera Credit Union has recognized that 100% of their members buy insurance every year, and that providing a full suite of insurance products to their members is a natural extension of their core business. It leverages the powerful brand equity and trusted relationships they’ve created in the market. Our partnership will further cement their position as a market leader in Western Tennessee.” Chesky added “Our deployment team will install our award winning E-InsuranceAISLE™, LoanINSURE^® and SmartCART Technology℠ platforms, creating a virtual ‘Insurance Aisle’ inside the Credit Union that will provide a powerful lift in recurring, value added, non-cyclical fee income while helping more members save time and money on insurance.”
