Maine Banks Receive $27,628 in Distributions from American Bankers Mutual Insurance, Ltd.

$100.8 million has been declared in total distributions since 1991.

American Bankers Mutual Insurance, Ltd., the reinsurer for the insurance program co-endorsed by American Bankers Association (ABA) and Maine Bankers Association (MBA), declared a $3.5 million distribution to be shared by qualified ABA member banks insured through ABA Insurance Services, a member of Great American Insurance Group.

This is the 34th consecutive year that the industry’s leading professional liability and bond insurance provider has declared distributions to eligible ABA member banks, bringing the total to $100.8 million since the program’s inception. ABA member banks that purchase their directors and officers (D&O), bond, cyber, property & casualty, and related insurance from this program are eligible to receive a distribution.

“We are proud of this program and its major milestone achievement of more than $100 million distributed to participating member banks,” said Rob Nichols, ABA president and CEO. “Between the reliable, annual distributions and the high-quality insurance products available, we believe this to be a valuable member benefit and hope others will consider participating.”

“Year after year, for more than three decades, this program has provided eligible ABA members with meaningful distributions and a long-term, stable source of quality insurance and risk services,” said Gary Hemmer, chairman of American Bankers Mutual Insurance Ltd. and chairman of the board of First National Bank of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ill. “We hope members will look closely at the ABMI offerings as they evaluate their insurance needs going forward.”

To receive a distribution, a bank had to be a member of ABA with qualifying D&O, financial institution bond, property & casualty, and/or cyber insurance with ABA Insurance Services on Tuesday, January 16, 2024. Distributions took place in February 2024.
