Exceptional, Financial Stability Rating (FSR) affirmed by Demotech Inc. Within the rating announcement, Demotech specifically mentioned of ATGF’s web-based, automated title insurance distribution and underwriting platform, the Electronic Policy Insurance Capability (EPIC), as a key addition to the process.
“EPIC has the necessary attributes to instill confidence in the title and settlement process from consumers, lenders, regulators and reinsurers while simultaneously protecting the fundamental integrity of the independent agency system,” said Joseph Petrelli, president of Demotech. “EPIC embraces and enhances the attributes inherent in the independent agency system, instead of changing title underwriting to mechanize the process or otherwise detract from the efforts of the independent agents.”
The Title Report is following up with ATGF for more details on EPIC and how it has changed their operations.
