Century Surety Company, a division of AF Group, is a leading provider of excess and surplus lines insurance in the United States. Established in 1978, the company originally provided coal mine reclamation bonds and has since evolved to offer a comprehensive range of insurance solutions, including general liability, commercial property, inland marine, environmental, and multi-peril insurance. What sets Century apart is its commitment to fostering long-lasting relationships with agents and brokers, many of whom have partnered with the company for over a decade. This mutual dedication to service and support highlights Century's approach to being more than just an insurance carrier; it strives to be a true partner in achieving success.
Operating through a select network of general agents, Century Surety Company manages business across three main segments—core commercial, specialty lines underwriting, and specialized programs—catering specifically to small and mid-sized businesses. The company's record of stability in a fluctuating marketplace is attributed to its unwavering dedication to underwriting discipline and exceptional service.
Technologically progressive, Century Insurance Group was an early adopter of innovation, launching its own policy management system in 2002 and developing online tools that allow agents to rate, quote, and bind business efficiently. The industry's leading-edge Application Programming Interface (API) also facilitates digital connections for vendors and agents to access rates and forms seamlessly.
With a focus on specialized risks and coverages not typically available through most E&S carriers, Century empowers agents with robust resources and support, including a 24/7 online claims reporting service. As a proud member of the AF Group, Century continues to enhance its presence as a premier choice for innovative insurance solutions, underscoring its reputation as a reliable partner for agents and brokers alike.
