CU's insurance firm grabs "Readers Choice" honors

RIVERSIDE, Calif. – Anthem Insurance Services, a subsidiary of Riverside County’s Credit Union (RCCU), has been named the top insurance company in the area it serves in a “Readers’ Choice” poll conducted by The Press-Enterprise newspaper. Anthem, which has grown from $10 million in premiums under management in January to more than $20 million in October, has been a subsidiary of RCCU since August 2001. It was formed through the merger of two family-owned insurance agencies. RCCU in September acquired a commercial insurance agency in Orange County, adding more than 700 accounts. Anthem employs 28 people and has offices in Riverside, Temecula and Irvine. Retail sales centers are located in the credit union’s nine branches. It offers both personal and commercial insurance coverage. RCCU was named the top financial institution and the favorite employer in Riverside in that same newspaper poll.
