10.01.2021 – Velocity Risk has experienced wonderful growth in North Carolina this year. They provide a long-term A.M. Best ‘A’ rated coastal solution. Growing responsibly and strategically is a vital part of fulfilling that commitment. Capacity management and risk identification play integral parts in accomplishing these goals. Across the state you will notice their appetite tightening as they implement new modeling techniques designed to optimize opportunities for homeowners in coastal North Carolina. To help spread overall risk, consider writing homes in Pasquotank, Camden, Perquimans, Currituck, Beaufort and Pitt counties. Beginning October 1, 2021, all new quotes will be impacted by this strategic realignment. Existing quotes must be bound by 5:00 pm, on October 1 to avoid any impact by this change. If you see an application quoting error on any quoting platform after this date, the risk is affected by the change and will not be eligible for new business. We appreciate your support and partnership. If you have any questions, please contact customer service.
