The American Bankers Association today announced that American Bankers Mutual Insurance, Ltd., the reinsurer for the ABA-endorsed insurance program, has declared a $3 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 33rd 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 $97.3 million since the program’s inception. ABA member banks that purchase their directors and officers (D&O), bond, cyber and related insurance from this program are eligible to receive a distribution. 

“The American Bankers Mutual Insurance program is a fantastic way for institutions to maximize the value of their ABA membership,” said Rob Nichols, ABA president and CEO. “On top of offering high-quality insurance products, the program has reliably paid out distributions for more than three decades. We hope members will consider participating as they evaluate their insurance needs.” 

“For the 33rd year in a row, this program has delivered for its participating members. It provides the banking industry with a long-term, stable source of insurance and risk services, as well as meaningful distributions for eligible ABA member banks,” said Gary Hemmer, chairman of American Bankers Mutual Insurance Ltd. and chairman of the board of First National Bank of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ill.

In order to receive a distribution, a bank must be a member of ABA and have D&O, financial institution bond, and/or cyber insurance with ABA Insurance Services on Tuesday, January 17, 2023. Distributions will take place mid-February 2023.
