Confie is an American private insurance company that provides auto insurance, home insurance, life insurance, commercial insurance, and related products. Confie is the ninth largest independent property and casualty insurance agency in the United States as of 2020. Freeway Insurance, InsureOne Insurance and Bluefire Insurance are their better known brands.
History
Initially known as Confie Seguros, the company was founded in 2008 by Mordy Rothberg, Joseph Waked and John Addeo. They aimed to make Confie a national insurance distribution company focusing on the Hispanic market. Addeo initially served as the company’s CEO before stepping down in January 2012, upon which Waked assumed CEO duties.
Confie expanded in part by acquiring insurance brokers throughout the United States. One of the company’s first acquisitions was Westline Insurance, which became the basis for their West Coast operations and their Freeway Insurance brand.
The company's launch was initially backed by Genstar Capital, which held a majority stake in the company before selling it in 2012. Private equity firm ABRY Partners acquired Genstar Capital’s majority stake in Confie in late 2012.
Cesar Soriano has been the CEO since August 2017, while Valeria Rico was CEO from 2014 to 2016. Company president and co-founder Mordy Rothberg also exited the company in 2018.
In 2020, Insurance Journal ranked Confie as the top personal lines insurance agency and the ninth largest independent property and casualty insurance agency in the United States based on 2019 revenue data.
On April 21, 2021, it was announced that Alliant Insurance Services would merge with Confie.
