  • DID YOU KNOW?

The term “underwriter” first emerged in the early days of marine insurance. Shipowners sought insurance for a ship and its cargo to protect themselves if the boat and its contents were lost. Shipowners would prepare a document that described their ship and its contents, crew, and destination.

The bankers would physically write their names under the ships listed on the wall-to-wall covered blackboards which showed detailed information about the cargo, crew, destination, and weather. This is how the word “underwriting” came to be.
