Pathpoint

Digital wholesale brokerage for E&S insurance

Overview

Pathpoint runs a digital wholesale brokerage for excess and surplus (E&S) insurance. It links retail agents with multiple A-rated E&S carriers on a proprietary platform, delivering bindable quotes within minutes for small commercial risks such as General Liability, Commercial Property, Excess Casualty, and Cyber Liability. The platform streamlines the process with a quick dynamic application, e-signing, and 24/7 agent access, while Pathpoint earns commissions on bound policies. Licensed in all 50 states as a Lloyd's of London coverholder, it helps agents access more carriers and provides carriers with better market reach and data insights to improve underwriting.
