Boston, MA - August 6, 2009 –
The SeaPass Hub commercial lines comparative rater is being made available to Liberty Mutual agents through Liberty Mutual Agency Markets, a strategic business unit of Liberty Mutual Group. It was announced today that six of its regional companies are joining Peerless Insurance in order to make the rater available.
Golden Eagle Insurance, America First Insurance, Indiana Insurance, Montgomery Insurance, Colorado Casualty, and Ohio Casualty agents who have been selected, in addition to the regional companies’ agency portals and the management systems of their own agency, can now obtain real-time quotes and issue policies through the multi-carrier SeaPass Hub, using the comparative commercial lines quoting tool.
