Liberty Mutual To Sunset Safeco Starting in 2026

Boston-based Insurer Will Unify Personal Lines Under Single Brand

Liberty Mutual Insurance announced plans to consolidate all personal lines products under the Liberty Mutual brand beginning in 2026. As part of the transition, the company will retire the Safeco Insurance brand, which has served as its independent agent channel since Liberty Mutual acquired Safeco in 2008.

“This transition will allow us to fully harness the Liberty Mutual brand value for all of our customers, agents and partners, across all distribution channels,” said Tyler Asher, Liberty Mutual chief distribution and marketing officer, US Retail Markets. “Importantly, this will significantly simplify our business, allow us to dedicate our considerable marketing power behind a single brand, and enable us to leverage and scale our technology to deliver unified but differentiated products and experiences across channels.” 

Despite the brand change, Liberty Mutual has assured that all Safeco customers will continue to work with their independent agents, and their policies will remain unaffected aside from the name transition.

Liberty Mutual also will continue to distribute personal lines products both through independent agents and direct-to-consumer channels, maintaining differentiation in product offerings.

Luke Bills, president of Independent Agent Distribution, emphasized the continued support for independent agents: “The Safeco legacy is one of strength, partnership and an unwavering commitment to independent agents. We will carry that legacy forward and will bring our agents even greater value with this brand change.”

Since its acquisition in 2008, Safeco has expanded to more than $13 billion in annual premium, offering personal auto, property, and specialty products in 48 states through a network of over 22,000 independent agencies. According to the most recent data, Liberty Mutual Insurance is the sixth-largest personal insurance provider in the US with $49.4 billion in annual consolidated revenue as of December 31, 2023.
