Columbus, Ohio, October 12, 2023: The Financial Stability Rating® (FSR) of A, Exceptional, assigned to Stillwater Insurance Company has been affirmed by Demotech, Inc.

Since 1989, FSRs of A or better have been accepted by the major participants in the secondary mortgage marketplace.

About Stillwater Insurance Company
