GETTYSBURG, Pa., Jan. 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ACNB Corporation (NASDAQ: ACNB), financial holding company headquartered in Gettysburg, PA, announced today that the name of its insurance subsidiary changed from Russell Insurance Group, Inc. to ACNB Insurance Services, Inc. effective January 1, 2022. ACNB Insurance Services, Inc. is a full-service insurance agency based in Westminster, MD, that offers a broad range of property, casualty, health, life and disability insurance serving personal and commercial clients.
“When ACNB Corporation purchased Russell Insurance Group, Inc. in 2005, this was the first entry for the Corporation into the Maryland market. Today, the insurance agency subsidiary has grown through acquisitions to serve clients with additional office locations in Germantown and Jarrettsville, Maryland, and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Now that the insurance agency has an established client base in the home market for ACNB Bank, the Corporation’s other wholly-owned subsidiary, it just made sense to align the name of the insurance agency with ACNB Corporation and ACNB Bank,” said James P. Helt, ACNB Corporation President & Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Helt continued, “The rebranding as ACNB Insurance Services, Inc. reinforces the common ownership by ACNB Corporation of both ACNB Bank and the insurance agency, as well as makes this affiliation more visible and transparent for consumers and businesses in our shared communities. Going forward, we plan to leverage cross-selling opportunities between ACNB Bank and ACNB Insurance Services, Inc., which will further the Corporation’s vision of being the independent financial services provider of choice in the core markets served by building relationships and finding solutions.”
