American Modern Home will then issue the policies and provide service throughout the policy term.

The American Express Property Casualty companies will immediately start offering American Modern Home’s manufactured home, motor home and travel trailer policies throughout the U.S.

Specialty homeowners’ policies specifically designed for the nonstandard market will initially be offered to American Express customers in Arizona and California, with plans for countrywide distribution of the product at a later date.
