COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Branch®, a full-stack insurance company that uses data, technology, and automation to make home and auto insurance simpler to buy and less expensive, announced it has launched in D.C., Georgia, Massachusetts, and Mississippi.

Branch pioneered bundling home and auto entirely online, requiring consumers to enter just a few pieces of information to see a purchasable price in seconds.

"National availability will allow Branch to forge more embedded partnerships and appoint new independent agencies across the country," said Branch Co-founder and CEO Steve Lekas. "We're committed to offering Branch's seamless experience when and where consumers are shopping: online, when they get a home loan, or with their trusted agent."

Branch has already penned a number of key embedded insurance partnerships across the mortgage, auto, and home security industries with leading brands like Homepoint and SimpliSafe. Additionally, Branch continues to expand its independent agency channel, enabling agents across the country to spend more time advising their customers and helping them save with Branch's instant-bundling technology. As Branch continues an impressive growth trajectory across its distribution channels, it maintains a stellar member experience marked by its 4.8 Trustpilot score.

"Expanding our community allows us to better deliver on our mission of making insurance less expensive so more people can be insured," shared Lekas. "We're thrilled to be able to bring so many more consumers into the Branch community and deliver a seamless experience and deep savings to our members."
