Safeco Insurance
Working Hard For You
Tell us about Safeco® Insurance.
In business since 1923, Safeco Insurance sells personal automobile,
homeowners and specialty products through a network of more than
10,000 independent insurance agencies throughout the United States.
What makes Safeco Insurance unique?
We do not sell a single policy without the hard work and expertise of
independent agents. This is why we are 100 percent dedicated to our
agency partners’ development and growing the whole agency business
now and into the future. We continue to invest in providing agents with
the resources and tools necessary to take them into the future. These
include Customers for Life™, Bricks and Clicks™, Producer Development
Program, Marketer Development Program, Right Track, Pet Insurance,
Gold Service Center, Phone Applications, etc. However, we are most
proud of the work we do in Agent Giving where we help agents give back
in the communities they serve.
What are Safeco’s future plans?
It’s simple: Helping the independent agent win in the marketplace.
To get to success, we are investing heavily in digital technologies and
innovative products and programs that help agents reach their customers
in new ways and keep them happy with services such as online account
management, Safeco Mobile and 24/7 service with our Gold Service™
program. By looking to what the future holds for the insurance industry,
we will be able to help agents compete — and win — in the marketplace.
We recently launched a resource for all independent agents, Agent for
the Future, on challenges facing the insurance industry and how agents
can anticipate them and prepare. Information on these industry trends
such as digital adoption and serving new customer segmentations can be
found at AgentfortheFuture.com.

$100 million in written premium in Kansas, serviced by our dedicated
territory mangers and underwriters with proven expertise in helping
agents grow. Our personnel are an excellent local source for all personal
lines products and are backed by our strength as a national carrier. This
