The IAN Story

The IAN Story
IAN was formed in 2016 by 3 AIDCO Insurance Agencies in the Pacific Northwest. Their goal was to provide Nationwide AIDCO agents the opportunity to improve and maximize their compensation with Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company.

IAN has transitioned to the “new” ELITE Partnership Program and is now expanding their association from current and new Nationwide ELITE Agents to Nationwide Exclusive Agents and Standard Independent Insurance Agencies. IAN has grown to more than 130 Associates in 27 States and secured Master Producer Codes with 18 Preferred National and Regional Insurance carriers.

IAN clearly understands the value of being independent and the challenges Independent Agents face every day and has a proven success record developing the Independent Insurance Agent market with AIDCO Agents. This will be relevant, as we move forward our transition and expansion with Nationwide Insurance and other insurance carriers.

IAN is currently the top Nationwide Insurance Independent Elite Aggregator in the country and has been ranked #1 by Nationwide’s Awards & Recognition program for three years in a row.

IAN strives to maintain a balance of customer retention, new business growth and loss ratio control that produces the highest return for all the Insurance Companies we represent while creating a stable and consistent stream of income for member and associate agencies.
