The FIIC will bring together insurance industry executives who are passionate about the financial services industry becoming a leading channel for insurance solutions.
“Financial institutions are trusted pillars of their communities, helping families to save and accomplish their financial goals like homeownership. I firmly believe that financial institutions have untapped potential to bring high quality, tailored insurance solutions to customers while driving innovation,” said Peter Gwaltney, president and CEO of the North Carolina Bankers Association. “The Financial Institution Insurance Council will help us deliver on that potential.”
Bob Mittel, Managing Partner, of Stathis – Mittel Business Intelligence agreed, noting: “Customers get an incredible value with low cost, high-quality financial services products that differentiate the United States from anywhere else around the world.

The thought leaders who gather together and join the FIIC will drive that innovation, and customers everywhere will benefit.”
