About Barber, Stewart, McVittie & Wallace (BSMW): Canadian Insurance

Insurance is More Than Just a Policy, It’s a Promise.

We cover you properly. In a world of risk, you need to understand and make an educated choice when buying insurance. Many people buy insurance without understanding hidden risks and buy plans solely on price alone. Consumers and business owners need a proper explanation of what their insurance policy covers, and more importantly, does not cover.

We are responsive to you.  We get to know our customers and give excellent service – you will be able to talk to a real person when you get in touch. You need documentation instantaneously, and we recognize that. When you make a request, for example an Insurance Certificate, or a loss payable, we make certain that you receive it the same day. This commitment prevails through all aspects of BSMW.

We give you what you need.  Our staff are insurance technicians, who become intimately familiar with all facets of your personal and business insurance needs, we will make proper recommendations and provide an understanding of the intricacies of the insurance products that you require.

Keeping you informed. The insurance world is constantly evolving and as insurance brokers, we work for you, not insurance companies. We have excellent working relationships with our insurance partners, and we keep you apprised of the rapid changes in the industry, because of our environment of continuing education, allowing us to continue to make appropriate recommendations to you.

Helping You Manage Your Risk. BSMW are capable of providing a full risk managed approach to your account. This will lead to the creation of your risk management manual, a cohesive collection of documents covering all aspects of risk, whether property, liability, income, or personal, and the techniques selected to manage them.
