For almost 85 years, Country Financial Services Insurance Company has been one of the top insurance firms in the United States, offering both insurance and investments. It assures balance in terms of finances in building a better future for you and your family.

Established in 1925 by the Illinois Agricultural Association, Country Financial was purposed to compensate the growing needs of farmers in fire and lightning insurances. In addition, salesmen rarely visit their places, and in case a salesman goes to his place, the company offers pricey insurance compared with those that were being offered in the city. From an initial 385 customers, its customers grew to millions, thanks to its quality service and dedication made possible by their five-starred employees and executives such as chief executive officer John Blackburn, chief operating officer Barbara Baurer, Sales senior vice president Paul Bishop, Human Resources and Communications senior vice president Steve Denault.

Car, home and family – these are three of the top plans that Country Financial offers. It pledges to protect those and provide financial stability for you and your family. With approximately 5,000 employees, including its financial representatives and interns, the company assures focused and one-on-one guidance and intervention, thus making a significant difference in people’s lives.

Additionally, in order to assure quality service, the company has been a member of the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association (IMSA) for 10 years.

Lastly, what makes this insurance firm unique is that it has created a financial index reports website, which its current and future clients can have access to. This proves how financially stable the company is, thus giving a peace of mind to its policyholders.
