Jeff Chesky, President and CEO of Insuritas, noted: “The leadership at Members Heritage has recognized that 100% of their members buy auto and home insurance every year, and wanted a full service, multi-product, member owned insurance agency.” Chesky noted, “We will build and launch an agency for Members Heritage with up to 42 Auto and Home insurance carriers, and a stable of over 100 insurance carriers offering nearly every insurance product consumers and small businesses need. The agency will operate on our digital platform supported by our ‘White Glove Agent Concierge Service’ and feature our award winning E-InsuranceAISLE™, LoanINSURE® and SmartCART Technology℠ platforms. The CU owned agency will provide a powerful lift in recurring, value added, non-cyclical fee income.”

Pat Ferry, CEO of Members Heritage stated, “Launching our member owned insurance agency will allow our members to shop for the auto, home, life and business insurance they need from the Credit Union they trust. Over 100 insurance carriers will be featured in our agency, all competing to offer our over 43,000 members the best combination of price, coverage and service. By opening our wholly-owned insurance agency, we are able to continue our commitment to servicing our members with all of the financial products they need with a great member experience and an emphasis on price and convenience.” Ferry concluded: “Launching a member owned insurance agency supports our commitment to provide our members high quality and reasonably priced services, deliver excellence in performance, and strengthen our commitment to long-term financial stability.”
