Quotes From Our Customers

“When my client is looking for a policy that will last from ten to sixty years or more, I want to be able to show them what companies are the strongest. To do this I need an accurate and impartial rating service. One that doesn't suppress ratings or upgrade a rating because they feel that a new product line will perform well. Since a rating service can't predict the future, what the preparer 'feels' has no meaning to me. I care what the numbers say.

For these reasons, I use Weiss Ratings only. No suppressed ratings or feelings, just hard facts. I never want to hear that a client of mine suffered a financial hardship because the death benefit was reduced to the statutory limit caused by a carrier being taken over by regulators. My clients hire me to do my best to insure their family will be taken care of and I take this very seriously.

In the life insurance business, we preach that our clients should do their best to make sure their families are taken care of. Do we not owe it to them to make sure we have done our part?

Weiss Ratings is the only way to go.” 
        - Richard Bresnahan, President, Life Source

“The information provided in your ratings guide affords me the opportunity to be more selective as to which banks I contact, based on our company's marketing objectives. The ratios and performance information are invaluable tools for honing in on prospects. I use the guide daily.” 
        - Barry Epstein, Boynton Beach, FL

“Weiss Ratings had exactly the detailed data on Medigap premiums that we needed for our research. They followed up promptly on all of our questions. At all times, they were responsive, helpful and a real pleasure to work with.” 
        - D. K., Ph.D., Cambridge, MA

“Weiss Ratings was asked to prepare individual, personalized brochures by age and gender for eligible retirees showing them what private health insurance Medigap coverage alternatives were available in their respective zip codes. The brochure was complete with premium rates and Weiss financial ratings on the offering insurers. This was invaluable to many of our retirees, who could then contact replacement insurers to secure detailed coverage data and make good, timely comparisons when the clock to secure replacement coverage was quickly running out. Our retiree organization is extremely grateful to Weiss Ratings and is unaware of a comparable service anywhere else in the country.” 
        - President, Kaiser Aluminum Salaried Retirees Association, Lafayette, CA

“Found your guide (Shopper's Guide to Medicare Supplement Insurance) to be an invaluable, indispensable guide and a must read for one trying to narrow down the numerous options available in this area.” 
        - Allen L. Himsworth, Elmhurst, IL

"As a financial analyst of the insurance industry, your ratings appear to be much more accurate than either S&P or Best."
        - P. Sargent, Maine Bureau of Insurance

"Weiss is a constant, not like other major rating agencies that can be paid to upgrade a company’s rating. When I was hired for managing pension funds, 90 were in GIC contracts. I immediately thought of Weiss’ analysis [and] moved interests to other companies. The net result was we never lost a dime."
        - R. Hiller, Reformed Church in America
