Sterling Insurance Company
Since 1985 Sterling has been providing quality insurance protection to New Yorkers with an ever expanding array of product offerings. As a mutual company located in upstate New York, we are owned by our policyholders versus stockholders. Consequently, we are not accountable to "Wall Street," we are accountable to "Main Street" where our policyholders live and work, just as we do. Our mutual company status allows us to take a long term outlook and proactively respond to the needs of our policyholders without pressure from stockholders who are often interested in short term gains. We are an incredibly stable organization that has grown to where we now insure over 100,000 New Yorkers.
Mission
Providing peace of mind and financial stability to our policyholders before, during and after the unexpected occurs.
