GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Canada's RBC Insurance expanded its U.S.
operations, based here, to include travel insurance and named Art
Kienle senior vice president, U.S. travel insurance, to lead the
expansion effort.
Prior to coming to RBC, Kienle spent 23 years with American
Express.
RBC's travel insurance products, which include trip
cancellation, trip interruption and emergency assistance, are
branded in the U.S. as RBC Travel Protection and will be
distributed through travel agents, initially in 34 states, the
company said. RBC expects to sell nationwide, subject to regulatory
approvals, by year's end.
The Liberty Marketing Corporation in Greenville is the
administrator for RBC Travel Protection.
The travel insurance products are underwritten by American
Bankers Insurance Company of Florida and American Security
Insurance Company. RBC is a registered trademark of the Royal Bank
of Canada.
