Why choose South Easthope Mutual?
Working together for insurance that works – When members do their part to prevent losses, everyone wins. When you have a claim, we are there for you and every member shares in your loss. That’s how mutual insurance works. It’s that simple.
Neighbour helping neighbour
Our country and communities were built on the principle of neighbours helping each other in times of need. We still believe in that today.
Insurance ‘at-cost’
South Easthope Mutual Insurance was founded in 1871 by local farmers and exists today to provide members with insurance ‘at-cost’. This means, the premiums you pay cover our costs – operating the business and paying claims. We are a financially stable company and when possible, we provide our property members with a premium refund.
Your interests, our priority
As a policyholder member, your interests are our priority. We don’t report to shareholders – only to our members, who take great pride in being our owners. That’s what makes us strong.
We are continuously driven to provide an exceptional level of personalized service to our members. We treat members the way we want to be treated, with fairness and respect. Nothing less is acceptable.
Growing strong communities
Loyalty to the communities we serve is ingrained in our culture. When you get insurance from South Easthope Mutual Insurance you’re supporting your local community. We hire local whenever possible and make company purchases from local businesses first. Our people volunteer and support community organizations, charities and churches.
When we all work together, we all succeed building stronger communities. That’s why we are here for you – today and tomorrow.
