Your Trusted Insurance Agents in Rhode Island

When Chatterton Insurance started back in 1924, it was not unusual for four or five insurance carriers to share in a percentage of fire insurance for a single building or risk. The policies were issued with a typewriter and mimeograph paper back then, but times have changed! Chatterton Insurance is now an expert in risk management and insurance sales—armed with innovative computer hardware and software systems.

We offer wide-ranging lines of coverage representing some of the strongest insurance carriers available. Our company is as comfortable managing the most complex commercial lines risks as advising you on what you should do when adding your teenager to your family auto coverage. Through the years, our company has strived with an aim to continue providing affordable and reliable insurance choices in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, and New Hampshire.

Our Leaders

Allen H. Chatterton III

Bintou T. Chatterton

Ms. Chatterton began her employment with Chatterton Insurance after completing her Computer Science Degree at Johnson & Wales University in 2002. The technological advancements in the insurance industry made this a turning point for our corporation. Still, Ms. Chatterton skillfully navigated these turbulent waters for Chatterton Insurance. She efficiently and affordably developed and acquired state-of-the-art management systems that normally would only be the tools of much larger firms.

Ms. Chatterton was also able to establish platforms for digital marketing and social media applications even before most insurance agencies acknowledged the trend. Even now, she is still in charge of our office’s IT procedures. When our Vice President accomplished her first assignment, she used considerable skills to understand and apply causality and property underwriting and risk management sales and procedures.

As the Vice President of the corporation, she has developed confident relationships with our carriers and agency clients.
