Advisors, not just bankers

At Comerica, our clients seek solutions for protecting their businesses, not just rates and terms.

As one of the few banks with a dedicated captive insurance banking team, our advisors are here to help with your captive insurance banking needs, both offshore and onshore.

Captive specialists

A reinsurance trust is not the same as a custody account. Obvious, but often overlooked in the financial industry. We understand the critical nuances and requirements necessary for businesses to successfully establish and manage a captive. For over 25 years, our captive specialists have been helping companies who want to:

Mitigate risk

manage the type and amount of risk you wish to retain, even for risks that are uninsurable in the commercial market.

Manage cash flow

control your premium payments and the investment strategy for them.

Manage costs

bypass commercial insurance markets and retain underwriting profits and investment income.

Business financial solutions

We begin by understanding your business from the ground up before we recommend how to help you protect your entity.

Our needs-based consultative process is built around you, with customized banking solutions that include:

Letters of credit (required by fronting insurance companies)
Trust services, including Regulation 114 Trusts (agreement between a captive, a fronting insurance company and a bank)
Custody services to hold assets of a captive, either onshore or offshore
Investment management for captive premiums and assets¹
Financing solutions²
Managing cash flow
Foreign exchange solutions

174 years of experience.

With more than 174 years of experience serving businesses and billions in total credit commitments, assets in custody and assets under management for the captive industry, our long view enables us to provide fact-based insights to help you plan properly.
