Sublimity Insurance is Leaving the Market: What You Need to Know
As some of you may have heard, Sublimity Insurance, a well-loved Oregon-based insurance company, has made the tough decision to step back from offering personal lines insurance in the state. Here at Bancorp Insurance, we understand the impact this news has on our community, as Sublimity has been a trusted partner, employing local Oregonians and supporting policyholders throughout the region. Let’s walk through what this means for you and your policy—and how we can help you through this transition.
Why is Sublimity Insurance Leaving?
Sublimity Insurance has been a local fixture in the Oregon insurance landscape for years, so this departure leaves many homeowners and drivers wondering, “Why now?” Simply put, the current insurance market is in what we call a “hard market,” where rising claim costs, inflation, and other financial factors make it difficult for insurers to keep rates steady. Sublimity, like other companies, has had to make tough decisions, which unfortunately means they will no longer offer personal lines insurance in Oregon.
What Happens to Your Policy?
If you’re a current Sublimity Insurance policyholder, you don’t need to panic. Bancorp Insurance has been working closely with Sublimity and Branch Insurance, the carrier taking over Sublimity’s renewal rights. Here’s what you need to know about the transition process:
Renewal Process: If your policy is up for renewal soon, you’ll receive a non-renewal notice from Sublimity. Along with this, Branch Insurance will provide you with a new policy quote.
Additional Underwriting Requirements: Branch Insurance will re-evaluate each policy, which could involve questions about your home, requests for photos, or possibly a home inspection.
If for any reason Branch’s quote doesn’t align with your needs or budget, don’t worry. We’re here to help you shop around to find a policy that works best for you. We understand that this is a stressful situation, and our goal is to provide seamless support as you consider new insurance options.
