Statewide Underwriting Services is a relationship-based independent insurance agency company with over 100 years of knowledge and experience providing solutions to our agents on behalf of their policyholders. With our exclusive affiliation to Mid-Hudson Co-Operative Insurance Company, Midrox Insurance Company, and Claverack Cooperative Insurance Company, providing access to a broad base of services, coverage types, and expanded offerings with consistent, stable rates we are a cost-effective partner in the insurance industry to agents and clients in New York State. We take pride in our firmly held commitment to putting people first.
The new affiliation with Statewide allows each of the three companies to offer its agents more choices, greater ease of doing business through operational consolidation, and most importantly; greater flexibility when shopping insurance on behalf of their clients. Statewide offers relevant products at competitive pricing with timely service.
Collectively as SWUS, the combined underwriting companies now boasts more than 300 agents, 360 years of experience, and coverage of the entire geographic footprint of New York State.
While many insurance companies operate as stock companies, Mid-Hudson Co-Operative Insurance Company, Midrox Insurance Company, and Claverack Cooperative Insurance Company all function as “mutual” companies, which are entirely owned by their policyholders. This model allows Statewide to maintain its commitment to the long-term interests of its agents and policyholders, as opposed to the short-term pressures and demands of stockholders.
With Statewide Underwriting Services you get the power of 3 affiliates in one!
