Testimonials

“Bud and Joe Scully have really differentiated themselves from other insurance industry professionals through their intimate knowledge of the banking industry. As an ambitious de novo bank we really need to work with TOP-NOTCH, experienced vendors and FGIB certainly falls into that category.”

“FGIB does not push you to buy whatever is the insurance product of the day.  Bud and Joe are our outsourced risk managers.  They provide valuable information based on our business plans and directions and present alternative options for our needs.”

“Specializing in insuring financial institutions, Financial Guaranty Insurance Brokers understands the risks banks wish to insure against.  They understand a bank’s insurance operational and regulatory needs.  Further, they have a broad understanding of the dynamics of the insurance market and carriers, as well as a comprehensive understanding of a policy’s coverage and limitations.  I would highly recommend Financial Guaranty.”
