Travelers Insurance

Travelers Insurance is the second largest issuer of personal insurance policies in the United States, and holds the number 89 position on the Forbes top 500 companies. What is unusual about Travelers is that they have achieved such a high ranking even though their policies are largely sold through independent agents rather than dedicated sales. In 2006, Travelers was purchased by the MetLife Insurance group, but has retained their operating name.

Travelers Insurance Company prides itself on constant innovation and excellent customer service. These are the top two reasons as to why they have been in business for over 150 years. Travelers Insurance formed through the merging of two different insurance companies: the Saint Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company, and the Travelers Insurance Company. The two officially merged on April 1, 2004, officially becoming what is now know as Travelers Insurance Company.

Travelers Insurance’s primary operations are in the United States; however, the company has several international offices, including those in the United Kingdom and Canada. Travelers Insurance Company has at least one office in each of the fifty U.S. states, as well as a detailed website complete with an online claims center. The company offers insurance policies for both businesses and individuals.
