AM Best has assigned a Financial Strength Rating of A-(Excellent) and a Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “a-” (Excellent) to Westcor Land Title Insurance Company (Westcor) (Columbia, SC). The outlook assigned to these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. This new rating reinforces strength behind every transaction.
According to AM Best, the ratings reflect Westcor’s:
- Very strong balance sheet strength
- Adequate operating performance
- Neutral business profile
- Appropriate enterprise risk management practices
AM Best also noted that Westcor maintains the strongest level of risk-adjusted capitalization as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), supported by profitable underwriting and operational performance.
In addition, Westcor was recognized as the fifth-largest title insurance underwriter in the United States based on 2025 premiums written, despite ongoing challenges in the real estate market, including elevated interest rates and slower transaction activity.
The stable outlook reflects AM Best’s expectation that Westcor will continue maintaining strong financial performance and stability amid changing housing market conditions.
Westcor is one of six underwriters, Abstracts Incorporated works with.
