Our Insurance Company
As the financial backstop for most of the warranties iA American offers, Dealers Assurance Company (DAC) has an A.M. Best Rating of A (Excellent), and is licensed to write insurance in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. With close to $87 million in policyholder surplus, DAC has been designated by A.M. Best as a Financial Size Category VII company.
DAC enjoys a heritage that spans over 85 years, beginning in 1935 with the formation of Mahoning Insurance Company by Youngstown Sheet & Tube. In fact, Mahoning was one of the very first captive insurance companies ever formed. In 1980, Mahoning was purchased by a group of Ohio auto dealers to underwrite F&I products, and its name was changed to Dealers Assurance Company. In 2004, DAC was acquired by DAC Financial Holdings, Inc., and then became a subsidiary of iA Financial Group in 2018.
Although DAC is an integral part of iA American Warranty Group, its services as a Property & Casualty insurance company are not exclusive to iA American’s products. DAC has long and trusted relationships with numerous third-party administrators throughout the United States.
