As a result of the increasing threat posed by Tropical Depression Cristobal, which is expected to grow into a Tropical Storm as it moves over the Gulf of Mexico, Frankenmuth Insurance is suspending binding authority in Alabama as of 9 a.m. Eastern Time on June 5, 2020.

At this time, this suspension applies to Baldwin, Choctaw, Clarke, Conecuh, Escambia, Greene, Hale, Marengo, Mobile, Monroe, Pickens, Sumter, Washington and Wilcox Counties.

This binding authority suspension will remain in effect until further notice and applies to new business as well as increases in limits or additions of coverage on in-force policies.

Home Office approval is required to override the suspension. We will continue to monitor the situation and inform you when the suspension is no longer in effect. Please contact your field manager or underwriter with any questions regarding this binding authority suspension.
