Kinro vs Marsh McLennan Agency

Kinro helps arrange coverage as a broker; its website names Kinro Insurance Services LLC and NPN 22233799, while the insurer on your policy takes the risk. ^5,10Company-reported.

Kinro’s September 27, 2026 terms define Kinro as Kinro, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Kinro Insurance Services LLC, and say insurance is offered through that agency only where licensed.

Company-published terms effective September 27, 2026 state the parent/subsidiary relationship and insurance-service scope.
