Posted on March 15, 2021

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Grange Insurance has announced its commercial risk appetite is now digital. Agents now have an easy, accessible online view of Grange’s clear commercial appetite for risks across all industries and product lines. This enhancement is part of Grange’s commitment to investing in innovative solutions that support its independent agency partners’ success while maintaining its competitive edge.

Grange’s digital risk appetite is powered by Ask Kodiak, an API platform providing real-time appetite and eligibility for insurance companies. Grange’s independent agency partners can use Grange’s agency portal, Grange Agent.

Grange’s digital risk appetite can help drive increased profitability and efficiency, allowing agency partners to leverage underwriting guidelines and product and eligibility information while matching needs to markets for reduced agency costs and increased close rates.

“Grange continues to invest in ways to increase connectivity with our agency partners that enhance user experience and ease of doing business,” said Grange President, Commercial Lines Mike Winner. “Offering a digital risk appetite is a perfect solution for agents to find information fast, matching their clients with the right products, and ultimately driving preferred business and more profitable premium.”

Other benefits include simplifying training and onboarding for new agents and helping prospective agents understand what type of business Grange writes. Grange can also evaluate an existing or prospective agency’s book of business, regardless of the agency management system, to expand the relationships or appoint a new agency.
