OBA Employee Benefits Corporation endorses KeyState’s Bank Captive Program

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (October 2014) Oklahoma’s banks will soon be presented with the benefits of a captive program due to the endorsement of KeyState’s Bank Captive Program by the OBA Insurance Agency, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Oklahoma Bankers Association (OBA).

Oklahoma banks with over $1 billion in assets will have the opportunity to form their own captive insurance company to cover risks that are not currently commercially insured and enhance the enterprise risk profile of their bank through KeyState’s Bank Captive Program.  The captive insurance company is implemented by Crowe Horwath LLP, a national CPA firm, and then managed on an ongoing basis by KeyState Captive Management.

“The program is already a proven success,” explained Roger Beverage, OBA president/CEO. “Over 90 percent of Indiana’s eligible banks have already formed or will form their own captive insurance company by year end since the Bank Captive Program was introduced by KeyState, less than two years ago.”

“The benefits are so compelling which is why EBC’s Board voted unanimously to endorse KeyState’s Bank Captive Program and make the captive available to OBA’s members,” added Beverage.
