Why Choose a CPCU?
Choosing an insurance agent or broker for your home, auto, or business
insurance isn't difficult when you know what to look for -- the letters
CPCU after your insurance provider's name.
Just as a CPA is your professional tax partner, a CPCU is your professional
insurance partner. CPCU stands for Chartered Property and Casualty Underwriter,
and is recognized as the premier professional designation of the property
and casualty insurance industry.
When you choose a CPCU, you can be sure that you are working with someone
who has significant experience and can offer you guidance on all of your
insurance decisions. It's someone who keeps up-to-date on issues and coverages
and is able to offer you the best protection possible at competitive prices.
A CPCU is also someone who agrees to an enforceable code of ethics and pledges
to put your interests above his or her own.
Simply put, CPCUs are dedicated to helping consumers make better insurance
decisions -- and they are highly qualified to do so. To earn the credential,
CPCUs must pass 10 national examinations covering such diverse subjects as
insurance law, ethics, accounting, and management. The comprehensive process
generally takes about five years. In addition, CPCUs must also have industry
experience and abide by an enforceable code of professional ethics.
These demanding standards ensure that when you choose a CPCU for your
insurance needs, you are choosing someone who not only has your best interests
in mind, but someone who has the background and knowledge to prove it.
When your insurance advisor is a CPCU, you can be confident that you are
dealing with a reputable, educated, and experienced professional. So when
it comes to property and casualty insurance advice, look for the "CPCU"
designation. It will make your choice an easy one.
