Zurich U.S. Reliability Evidence
Zurich U.S. has no Carrier & MGA Reliability Score because the reviewed evidence is insufficient for a numerical assessment. Reliability Scores assess documented reliability within the reviewed scope; they do not predict claims payment.
Zurich U.S. Carrier & MGA Reliability Score
No numerical Reliability Score is assigned. The cited material has mixed entity, group, state, product, and time scopes and does not support a comparable current issuer-level assessment across the rubric. This record preserves those distinctions and unknowns; it does not infer a positive or negative score.

Scope: Evidence record for Zurich U.S. brand and named insurer Zurich American Insurance Company (ZAIC); corporate ratings are specific to the named issuer where stated, while conduct and customer sources keep their own entity/jurisdiction/product scopes.

Zurich U.S. Entity and market role
Zurich U.S. Provider-published license disclosure
Zurich terms §16 identifies Zurich American Insurance Company (NAIC 16535) and states that the company is licensed in all U.S. states, plus the listed District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and Northern Mariana Islands. This is a provider-published disclosure and is not represented as independently verified. NAIC 16535 is the company identifier shown in the terms, not a state-specific license number. The passage provides no state-by-state license types or license identifiers, so none are inferred.6
Zurich U.S. Financial-strength evidence
AM Best’s September 4, 2026 release names Zurich American Insurance Company among subsidiaries with affirmed A+ financial-strength and aa issuer-credit ratings with stable outlook. The release’s stated rationale concerns Zurich Group financial strength and performance; it is not a standalone ZAIC capital assessment.1,2
Zurich U.S. Claims, complaints and customer feedback
Zurich describes claim-notice channels and acknowledgment within 24 hours before adjuster assignment; that is a company-reported workflow, not measured service performance. A March 2022 NYDFS consent order names six Zurich insurers, including ZAIC, in a collective $2.2 million penalty relating to vehicle-reporting practices investigated for 2018. The order does not allocate the penalty to ZAIC alone. California DOI complaint tables contain several outcome categories and alleged-violation counts for 2023–2025; these are state-specific, all-line records and do not adjudicate every complaint or establish a national comparison.7,4,5
Zurich U.S. Producer compensation
Zurich says producer compensation may include premium-based and contingent arrangements, and excludes independently operating program administrators from the disclosure. A specific intermediary’s compensation is not established.3
What We Couldn’t Confirm About Zurich U.S.
- No Spot reliability score has been assigned; no model judgment is requested or implied.
- No provider-published state-by-state license identifier or license-type schedule was located in the cited terms disclosure; treat those fields as unknown.
- No standalone review of each Zurich insurer’s capital, current statutory filing, claim administrator by product, or national line-specific complaint experience is established here.
- NYDFS conduct evidence is collective and historical; penalty allocation to ZAIC is not stated. California complaint and alleged-violation data have state and all-line scope.

- No numerical Reliability Score, factor rating, consumer average, or comparative reliability ranking is proposed.
