BEDFORD, Texas, May 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- State National Companies, Inc.

State National's Program Services business segment provides insurance fronting services that leverage the company's "A" (Excellent) A.M. Best rating, expansive licenses and reputation to provide access to the U.S. property and casualty insurance market in exchange for ceding fees.

These significant accounts demonstrate the success of our enhanced business development efforts which have also contributed to the steady growth in our Program Services business.  The strong performance of our sales team, State National's proven experience and established reputation in this market and the increased interest for fronting relationships in the industry continues to drive our success. We welcome these new programs to State National and look forward to continuing the positive momentum that we have established as the preferred conduit between the distribution of insurance risk and capital," commented Terry Ledbetter, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, State National Companies.
