CRC Insurance Services, Inc
CRC Insurance Services, Inc
CRC Insurance Services, Inc., commonly known today as CRC Group, is a major wholesale and specialty insurance distributor serving independent insurance agents, brokers, insureds, and carriers across the United States and Canada. The company specializes in placing complex, hard-to-insure, excess and surplus, specialty, commercial, professional, casualty, property, transportation, construction, healthcare, marine, and other specialized risks that may not fit traditional standard-market underwriting. CRC works as an intermediary between retail insurance professionals and a large network of specialty insurance carriers.
The modern CRC organization has changed significantly from its earlier structure. CRC Insurance Services historically operated within a broader insurance distribution business owned by Truist Financial. In 2023 and 2024, a consortium involving Stone Point Capital, Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, and Mubadala Investment Company acquired Truist Insurance Holdings. After the transactions, non-core businesses such as McGriff and Crump were divested, and the remaining wholesale-focused insurance business was repositioned and rebranded as CRC Group. Mubadala states that CRC now places more than $30 billion in annual premium and partners with more than 650 insurance carriers.
The HeadquarterLocation page is categorized under California, but current corporate records and CRC materials do not support California as the present headquarters. CRC Group’s principal corporate presence is now associated with Birmingham, Alabama, where its main business address is One Metroplex Drive, Suite 400, Birmingham, AL 35209. Current industry and regulatory records also identify Birmingham as CRC’s corporate base.

Birmingham, AL 35209
United States
Current regulatory records and CRC broker-onboarding materials identify this Birmingham address as a principal CRC business address.
CRC Group operates numerous brokerage offices throughout the United States and Canada, but its Birmingham operation serves as a major corporate and leadership center. Retail brokers working with CRC may interact with local production offices instead of Birmingham depending on the specialty line, broker relationship, or geographic market.

Older pages may associate CRC Insurance Services with California or with legacy Truist Insurance Holdings corporate structures. Those references should not be treated as the current CRC Group headquarters. Following the 2023-2024 ownership transactions and subsequent reorganization, Birmingham, Alabama is the more accurate current corporate location.

The fastest way to reach the right person at CRC is usually through the broker, producer, underwriter, or specialty team already handling the account. CRC is not structured like a consumer insurance carrier with one national call center. If you have a binder, quote, invoice, policy-placement email, or broker correspondence, use the contact listed there first because that individual will have direct access to the account history and carrier relationship.
For general corporate routing, use 205-870-7790 at the Birmingham office. Retail agencies seeking a new appointment can contact agencyappointments@crcgroup.com. Have the insured name, agency name, account or policy information, producing office, carrier, invoice number, and relevant dates available before contacting CRC.
If the matter involves a claim, note that CRC is primarily an insurance intermediary rather than the insurance carrier. The policy document will identify the carrier and claims-reporting channel. CRC can help with broker-side coordination, but the insurer or designated third-party administrator may control the formal claims process.
Complaints can involve broker conduct, placement errors, billing, communication delays, policy documentation, premium accounting, carrier access, claims coordination, licensing, or other wholesale-brokerage concerns. Keep the policy or quote, binder, invoice, insured name, agency details, producer name, carrier information, emails, and a timeline of the issue before escalating.
CRC does not have a conventional customer-service department for consumers, so begin with the broker, producer, underwriter, or account contact who handled the placement. Explain the issue in writing and provide policy, quote, binder, or invoice references. Ask for confirmation that the complaint has been documented and request a clear response date.
If the problem concerns accounting, broker onboarding, property placement, casualty, professional lines, transportation, claims coordination, or another specialty, ask to be transferred to the appropriate department. Broker-appointment questions can use agencyappointments@crcgroup.com. Matching the complaint to the correct specialty team often produces a faster and more accurate review than sending a general inquiry.
If the producing broker or account team cannot resolve the matter, request review by the office president, practice leader, team leader, or another senior manager. Provide a concise summary of the dispute, prior communications, and the specific outcome you want. Keep copies of all responses.
Submit the complaint in writing so there is a documented record. If no specialized complaint form is available, send written correspondence through the producing CRC office or the Birmingham corporate office. Include supporting documents and avoid sending original policy documents.
For a serious unresolved matter, write to:
CRC Group / CRC Insurance Services, Inc.
One Metroplex Drive, Suite 400
Birmingham, AL 35209
Include the agency name, insured name, policy details, producing office, previous contacts, dates, and requested resolution.
If the issue involves a particular insurer, MGA, program administrator, or claims administrator, use the formal complaint process of that entity as well. CRC may be the intermediary, while the insurer remains responsible for underwriting, policy issuance, or claim decisions.
Insurance brokerage activity is regulated primarily at the state level. If the issue involves licensing, producer conduct, premium handling, misrepresentation, or insurance-placement practices, contact the Department of Insurance in the state where the policy or insured risk is located.
If the complaint involves a business-to-business contractual or payment disagreement, review the broker agreement, carrier agreement, payment terms, and applicable state commercial remedies. Individual insureds can also consult their state’s consumer insurance division when appropriate.
If the dispute remains unresolved and involves significant financial loss, contractual obligations, or alleged professional negligence, review the applicable broker agreement, policy, arbitration clause, governing-law provision, and limitation periods with qualified legal counsel before pursuing litigation or arbitration.
