St. Paul Travelers Pays Policyholder Dividend to Independent Community Bankers of America Members

  
    
  
  
    
      St. Paul Travelers (NYSE:STA) today announced that 936 members of the 
      Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) will share a $3,154,946 
      policyholder dividend due to their participation in the ICBA/St. Paul 
      Travelers Insurance Program with SelectOneSM.
    
    
      The 12.9 percent policyholder dividend, which applies only to property 
      and casualty coverages, is the result of efforts by ICBA member banks in 
      managing various insurance exposures in the workplace and reducing 
      insurance claims. This “safety group” 
      dividend is just one feature of the ICBA/St. Paul Travelers Insurance 
      Program with SelectOne, offered to members through independent insurance 
      agents that represent St. Paul Travelers.
    
    
      “We’re pleased to 
      be able to offer ICBA members a policyholder dividend payout during the 
      21st anniversary year of our partnership with 
      this organization,” said Gary Erickson, vice 
      president of Financial Institutions, St. Paul Travelers. “This 
      insurance program has generated nearly $19.0 million in policyholder 
      dividends to ICBA members since its inception in 1983.”
    
    
      “This policyholder dividend is one of the 
      many benefits members can receive through participation in the ICBA/St. 
      Paul Travelers Insurance Program with SelectOne,” 
      said Sam Smith, president and CEO, Century Bank of Bartow County, 
      Cartersville, Ga. “Participants in this 
      program understand and value the importance of safety in the workplace.”
    
    
      The ICBA/St. Paul Travelers Insurance Program with SelectOne features 
      the following coverage options: directors and officers liability, bond, 
      bankers professional liability, kidnap and ransom, fiduciary liability, 
      employment practices liability, lender liability, trust errors and 
      omissions liability, Internet liability, general liability, property, 
      workers’ compensation and auto liability. 
      Currently, about one-third of ICBA’s members 
      purchase one or more of these products through St. Paul Travelers.

      check from their independent agent in early 2007.
