What We Do
NYCM Insurance is a property and casualty insurance carrier that has been providing coverage to residents and businesses in New York since 1899. With a team of over 975 employees, and a network of over 1,400 independent agents, NYCM is dedicated to providing superior service and a quality customer experience. Our story began in Edmeston, NY – a tiny rural town known for its agricultural community – when one farmer lost everything in a fire. Realizing that the town needed to be better prepared for the future, 27 businessmen and residents came together to pool money and protect one another from fires and lightning, officially establishing the New York Central Mutual Fire Insurance Company under founder VanNess D. Robinson in 1899. We are a family founded and run company and believe in staying true to our small-town roots. Over 120 years later, we’re still operating in our original town of Edmeston, NY and have expanded to include three additional offices in Sherburne, Orchard Park and Canajoharie, further investing ourselves in New York State and our local communities. We are also highly invested in our 900+ employees. We know that our best work comes from an inspired internal culture and our drive to succeed as a team. Between our employee base and a network of over 1,200 independent agents, NYCM Insurance is proud to service over 525,000 insureds. Our insurance lines include Home, Auto, Umbrella, Commercial and more. NYCM Insurance is proud to work with various partners to offer additional types of coverage for many areas of your life including special events, motorcycles, off-road vehicles, bicycles, yachts, collector cars and more. These partnerships help us ensure that you and yours are always protected no matter what life throws at you. At the end of the day, our reason for doing business is the same as it was 120 years ago. We believe in providing genuine care; so that we can all have hope for a better tomorrow and the courage to persevere.
