Company Profile

For over half a century, Civil Service Employees Insurance Group (CSE) has focused its business on quality protection, affordable rates and long-term relationships with our customers. CSE Insurance Group was founded in 1949 in San Francisco, California with a very specific goal - "to furnish insurance at equitable rates to clients and promote the interests and welfare of public employees".

The company grew out of the efforts of Nelson Nichols, a 20-year postal veteran. Nichols' vision for civil servants was to form and own an insurance company that would provide competitive rates for public sector employees. The company's first salespeople were firefighters, police officers, postal workers and other government employees. In the 1980's, CSE extended its offerings to the general public, continuing with its tradition of offering quality protection at affordable prices.

Today, CSE's insurance products are sold through independent insurance agents in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah, as well as through our direct marketing center. CSE offers a wide range of insurance products to meet your needs, including auto, home, liability and boat. In addition, CSE Insurance offers an outstanding commercial package policy.

CSE Insurance Group has earned an B++ (Very Good) financial rating from AM Best, the nation's leading insurance rating organization. This rating is based on AM Best's independent opinion of the company's financial strength, operating performance, and ability to meet its obligations to policyholders.
