Kin, a digital home insurance provider, has officially launched its services in California. This expansion allows California homeowners to access Kin’s insurance products directly online. The policies are distributed through Kin Insurance Services, a surplus lines broker based in the state, and are underwritten by a non-admitted carrier that partners with Kin.
Founded in 2016 and based in Chicago, Kin has quickly grown its customer base, now boasting over 240,000 policies. The company already operates in several states including Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
The move into California is significant for Kin, as the state represents a large market for homeowners insurance. With this expansion, Kin aims to provide more options for homeowners looking for flexible and accessible insurance solutions. The company’s digital-first approach is designed to simplify the insurance buying process for consumers, making it easier for them to find coverage that suits their needs.
As Kin continues to grow, it remains focused on leveraging technology to enhance the customer experience in the homeowners insurance market.
