KeyState Captive Management, an affiliate of The KeyState Companies, has partnered with the Wisconsin Bankers Association Employee Benefits Corporation (EBC) to offer a unique bank captive insurance program to Wisconsin banks.  The bank captive program is designed by national accounting firm Crowe Horwath LLP and then administered by KeyState Captive Management.  Banks that fit a certain asset size and earnings criteria can form their own wholly owned captive insurance company to finance risks (that are not commercially insured) in a tax advantaged way.  KeyState and its affiliates have been working with Wisconsin banks for over 22 years providing Nevada investment subsidiary, portfolio management, and asset liability consulting services.  We are pleased to now introduce the bank captive program.
