Making the world a better place? Sure. Why not?

By Steve Mckay

As an insurance company, two of our top priorities are allocating risk and reducing costs. As a consumer, what are your priorities? Safety? Saving money? Getting a fair deal? Probably all of the above, right?

Every so often, consumer and corporate priorities mesh so well that the resulting effect extends far beyond the company and consumer — it actually impacts society. That’s our hope with MyRate. We want to have a program that prompts changes in behavior that are good for everyone.

Last week, one of my colleagues actually commented in a meeting, “If we do this right, it really could make the world a better place.” A noble and ambitious goal, to be sure. But that’s really a byproduct of what MyRate is all about. Our focus is being responsive to your particular needs, and making this program work for you. That’s why we’re so keen on receiving your feedback. We want MyRate to serve you.

And if we make the world a safer and better place in the process, so be it.
