BSI Insurance has merged with ONE Insurance Group. The familiar BSI signs in Niverville, Ste. Agathe, and St. Pierre may be changing, but customers of these insurance providers need not take any steps to protect or change their policies.
Since the 1960s, BSI Insurance has served Manitobans by providing insurance, but they’ve also issued passport photos and marriage licences.
David Robin, the company’s manager of marketing and communications, says that ONE Insurance understands that these services are essential for their clients and they are committed to making the transition process from BSI to ONE as seamless as possible.
They will not be closing any branches or letting go any employees.
“For BSI customers, the merger may bring some changes, but the focus remains on providing excellent service and support,” says Robin. “While there may be adjustments in processes and systems, the commitment to meeting the insurance needs of clients remains unchanged. No branches are closing. Our branch network is one of our strongest assets. We are honoured to serve our customers where they live and aim to continue to do so. We have deep roots in the communities we serve and we aim to keep those.”
ONE Insurance has been active in Manitoba for 70 years. As of the merger with BSI, they now have 28 branches: four in Winnipeg and the rest in neighbouring communities. ONE Insurance Group is now the largest Manitoba-owned brokerage.
They also intend to continue the charitable arm of BSI, known as the Because We Care (BWC) Initiative.
“The commitment to giving back to communities remains a priority, reflecting the values of both companies,” Robin says. “We plan to donate $25,000 in 2024 to local initiatives through the BWC program.”
Robin assures current and future customers that the merger won’t change either company’s dedication to serving Manitobans with integrity and expertise.
“Clients can expect continued personalized service and access to a comprehensive range of insurance options. The combined strengths of both companies create a robust platform for meeting the evolving needs of clients across the province.”
