We are thrilled to announce that BTIS has again been recognized in the prestigious Insurance Business America (IBA) 5-Star Awards! This annual honor is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and partnership within the insurance industry. More than just an accolade, this recognition reflects the valuable feedback provided by retail producers across the nation—those who know firsthand the impact of quality service in the wholesale distribution space.
The IBA 5-Star Awards serve as a hallmark of distinction, serving as exemplary paragons of success in the insurance sector. The awards are determined through a comprehensive survey, gathering valuable feedback from industry professionals who assess key factors such as product range, pricing, responsiveness, and technological innovation. This year, BTIS has again taken part and stood out brilliantly, being recognized for our outstanding contributions and unwavering commitment to our partners.
An Appreciation Grounded in Trust and Partnership
What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it is based entirely on direct input from our agency partners. The IBA 5-Star Awards are determined through an extensive survey, where industry professionals evaluate wholesale partners and MGAs based on key performance criteria. This feedback validates our dedication to providing exceptional service, a diverse range of products, and a seamless experience for our partners.
Outstanding Scores Across the Board
BTIS once again showcased its leadership in the industry, achieving remarkable ratings in key areas:

These scores reaffirm our dedication to innovation, expertise, and client-focused service, demonstrating why BTIS remains a trusted partner for insurance professionals across the country.
To determine this year’s honorees, Insurance Business America asked retail producers to rate the performance and service of their wholesale broker and MGA partners across ten essential areas—ranging from pricing and responsiveness to product knowledge and technology—on a scale from 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent). Organizations that earned an average score of 4.0 or higher in at least one category received a 5-Star designation, signifying their exceptional performance.
Only those who achieved a score of 4.0 or greater in all ten categories were awarded the prestigious All-Star Medal—a distinction BTIS is proud to receive for the seventh time. This recognition highlights the consistent trust and confidence that the broker community places in us year after year.
In addition to the All-Star Medal, BTIS also earned top honors across several individual categories...
