State Farm Sales Trigger Events
Blockchain Solution Solves State Farm®, USAA Subrogation Challenge
Jan 2021
In an age of fast-paced technology, large insurance companies need to work together to meet rising customer expectations. It’s important for insurers and financial institutions to continuously invest, innovate and evolve for the future. For State Farm® and USAA, blockchain has provided the answer. Today, State Farm and USAA announced that auto subrogation claims settled between the two companies will be processed using blockchain technology. “We are always looking at ways we can operate more efficiently to benefit our customers," said Robert Yi, chief claim officer at State Farm. “In most cases, this blockchain solution will assist in speeding up subrogation recovery, resulting in an earlier return of the customer's deductible.”
Companies across many industries are using blockchain technology to securely store data and manage transactions. With its unique encryption and security features, blockchain has the potential to affect and transform many industries. “Carrier-to-carrier claims payments will be almost completely automated in the future, saving time and money,” said Sean Burgess, USAA chief claims officer. “Utilizing blockchain technology helps us securely improve and automate a manual process and ultimately gets money back to our members and customers faster.” “We are actively seeking other insurers to join us in this subrogation blockchain solution," Yi said. “The more insurers that embrace secure and efficient technology solutions, like blockchain, the greater the return for all of our insurance customers.”

State Farm® to Acquire GAINSCO
Jan 2021
announced Sept. 17, 2020, that they have entered into an agreement pursuant to which State Farm will acquire GAINSCO for approximately $400 million in cash The transaction is expected to close in early 2021, subject to approval by GAINSCO’s shareholders, the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, obtaining regulatory approvals, and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. GAINSCO concentrates on the non-standard personal automobile insurance market, specializing in minimum-limits personal auto insurance.
The transaction is the first acquisition of an insurance company by State Farm in its 98-year history. “We believe this acquisition positions both our company and GAINSCO well for future growth,” said Michael Tipsord, State Farm President, Chairman, and CEO. “Because of our competitive value, broad line of products, and exceptional customer service from our employees and 19,200 State Farm independent contractor agents, customers have made us the largest property and casualty insurer for several decades. We are excited for the opportunity State Farm agents will have to serve a market that has historically not been open to them. This will help us further toward our goal of serving more customers in more ways.”

State Farm® and Ford Team Up on Usage-based Insurance
Aug 2020
State Farm® and Ford are excited to announce that they have entered into an agreement to share connected vehicle telematics data for usage-based insurance (UBI) products. State Farm customers with eligible connected Ford vehicles will be able to opt-in to Drive Safe & Save, the voluntary UBI program by State Farm that uses vehicle telematics to match premiums to the number of miles driven and rewards good driving behavior through potential discounts.
“State Farm and Ford have a decades-long history of working together on vehicle and driver safety initiatives. Working with Ford on our usage-based insurance program is a great example of how we will continue to work together to meet our mutual customers’ needs today and into the future,” said Chris Schell, State Farm Senior Vice President Property & Casualty.
“Connected vehicles have the potential to deliver great benefits to Ford customers, including the ability to help lower their car insurance premiums through usage-based insurance,” said Stuart Taylor, Executive Director Enterprise Connectivity, Ford Motor Company. “We’re excited about State Farm’s approach of using Ford’s built-in connectivity to promote safer driving habits and enable opportunities for our mutual customers to save money. This agreement further builds on our strong relationship with State Farm to continue to deliver value for our mutual customers.”

How State Farm Plans to Exit the US Banking Sector
Mar 2020
Financial services giant State Farm plans to exit banking operations, aided by a new tie-up with US Bank. US Bank is to take on State Farm’s deposit and credit card accounts, the two companies announced last week, in a process that will start later this year and run on into 2021.
The groups are also exploring plans to share other product lines such as vehicle loans and business banking services. New State Farm customers will be offered US Bank deposit accounts and co-branded credit cards, the companies said.
State Farm indicated that it wanted to focus on its core insurance business. It is the US’s largest provider of car and home insurance services, with an estimated 84 million policies and accounts. In contrast, it has two million “banking and investment planning services”. State Farm president and CEO Michael Tipsord said last week: “State Farm has been committed to helping people for nearly 98 years. US Bank is an outstanding institution that shares our commitment to strong customer relationships.
