What is 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.
CPCU stands for Chartered Property 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. Someone who
keeps up-to-date on issues and coverage and is able to offer you the
best protection possible at competitive prices. And someone who
agrees to an enforceable code of ethics and pledges to put your
interests above his or her own.
Why Choose a CPCU?
Simply put, CPCU's are dedicated to helping
consumers make better insurance decisions. To earn the credential,
CPCU's must pass ten national examinations covering such diverse
subjects as insurance law, ethics, accounting, and management. The
comprehensive process generally takes about five years. In
addition, CPCU's 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 an knowledge to prove it.
Have Confidence in Your Insurance
Decision:
When your insurance
adviser is a CPCU and member of the CPCU Society, you can be confident
that you are dealing with a reputable, educated, and experienced
professional. So, when it comes to property and casualty insurance
advise, look for the "CPCU" letters. It will make your
choice easy.
