Our Evolution
Formerly known as Bankers Insurance, we have proudly served our clients for over 25 years, building a reputation of trust, reliability, and excellence. Our rebrand to Bearing Insurance marks an exciting new chapter in our journey – we look forward to continuing to serve you with the same dedication and expertise you have always trusted.
With our guidance, you can confidently navigate risks and safeguard your future.
Our Journey
Tracing our roots back to 1896, our journey has been marked by dedication and commitment to building lasting relationships with our clients and strategic partners. This ethos forms the foundation of our company, providing clarity and a sense of purpose around our mission – to protect our client’s assets and reduce their risks, while enhancing our employees’ well-being and delivering predictable, profitable growth to our shareholders.
In the spring of 1999, Bankers Insurance was established by a group of Virginia community banks to provide business and personal insurance solutions to their clients. Over time, our business has evolved, expanding geographically beyond Virginia into North Carolina and West Virginia, while broadening our business model and offerings. As the organization grew, Bankers Insurance embraced opportunities to strengthen its presence, broaden its footprint, and stay true to its mission of serving more clients.
In 2024, we began a new chapter by rebranding as Bearing Insurance Group. This change reflects our commitment to guiding clients with confidence and clarity, aligning our name with our mission to help individuals, families, and businesses navigate their insurance needs with confidence. As Bearing Insurance, we continue to honor the values that shaped us while forging a path forward with a focus on excellence, integrity, and a client-centered approach.
