Nationwide, A Proud Partner of Independents

Proud Partner of Independents®

Independent agents work hard to serve their clients, their businesses, and their communities. They deserve more than a transactional partnership. Nationwide® offers the strength and stability of an independent national carrier with the service and support of a regional partner, creating a long-term, committed relationship to help agents grow. We focus on offering competitive products and digital quoting tools that make selling easier and faster.

As a partner, we:

Get to know each agency

Nationwide has been working with independent agents since 1926 to bring them a competitive edge. That means being a partner who not only responds to agents’ needs but anticipates them and offers proactive solutions. Our partners have a choice in how they grow with us, based on their agency’s product line focus and commitment level. With a full suite of tried-and-true growth programs paired with forward-thinking digital enablement tools, Nationwide helps boost revenue and competitive edge for independent agents.

Make doing business easier

Technology can help agents sell with more speed and efficiency, transforming the way they do business. Our personal lines telematics programs offer clients more personalization and control, and they’re easy to sell thanks to integration with comparative raters. Our commercial quoting is now available on third-party platforms, helping agents generate, compare, and deliver commercial quotes to customers in minutes.

Clients can feel connected and cared for with our 24/7 Claim Tracker, which allows them to track their auto claim from start to finish online. And our self-service capabilities allow clients to perform simple account transactions anytime, anywhere so agents can focus on growing their business.

 Serve as a growth partner

Our suite of marketing tools and resources helps agents become marketing powerhouses. With access to professionally designed, customizable digital tactics, eligible agents can promote their business while taking advantage of our co-op program, which offers up to 50% reimbursement for qualifying agents on eligible marketing expenses. We also offer training on everything from social selling to attracting diverse talent to help agents stay at the top of their game.

Have a history of strength and stability

Agents can have confidence in us because we’ve been there. We began as a small, mutual insurer helping farmers get the best value they could for auto insurance. Today, we’re a Fortune 100 company that offers a full range of insurance and financial services across the country. Through the years, we’ve grown and expanded the solutions and services we provide while staying true to our On Your Side® promise: We exist to protect people, businesses, and futures with extraordinary care.
