JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fortegra, a Tiptree Financial Inc. company (NASDAQ:TIPT), today announces the merger of its eight underwriting divisions into one, unified insurance services brand. The move is designed to maximize customer benefits and experiences by providing multi-faceted, comprehensive insurance coverage through one customer-facing organization.

“Today’s consumer requires a multitude of insurance services, which is why we’ve combined the very best of current warranty and specialty insurance providers to form the new, unified Fortegra,” said Rick Kahlbaugh, CEO, Fortegra. “By realigning our existing brand and unifying the organization, we can better address customer needs, allowing our partners and consumers alike to worry less while experiencing more.”
