About
UNDER CONSTRUCTION
WBI Home Warranty Ltd. (WBI) began operations in British Columbia in the spring of 2011, with Royal and Sun Alliance Insurance Company of Canada (RSA) underwriting the New Home Warranty Insurance policies and the Home Deposit Bonds. Through the agreement with the insurer, WBI acts “as the agent” for RSA.
In early 2012, The Guarantee (Guarantee Company of North America, GCNA) agreed to be the insurer and underwriter for the Deposit Insurance Program.
In 2014/2015 WBI became licensed in the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Through an agreement with Blanket Insurance Ltd. (a licensed insurance broker), WBI began to offer the new home warranty in each province. RSA underwrites the new home warranty in each of the provinces that WBI does business in.
April 15 2019 The Guarantee agreed to insure and underwrite New Home Warranty Insurance policies in Alberta and British Columbia.
August 14 2019 The Guarantee agreed to insure and underwrite New Home Warranty policies in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
December 2, 2019- Intact Financial Corporation completed the acquisition of The Guarantee Company of North America.
