Mercantile Insurance Company Limited was established in 1993 as a composite insurance company. A highly diversified company, it offers all types of non-life insurance: fire, marine, motor car, personal accident, miscellaneous casualty, aviation, engineering, surety and other kinds of bonds.
Mercantile Insurance Company Limited was established by a group of dynamic and experienced businessmen, knowlegeable in the trade and to meet the challenges brought about by the sweeping insurance consciousness in the country. With the Mercantile House Corporation as its managing arm, the Mercantile Insurance Company Limited first held offices at the Puyat Building in Escolta, the business heart of the Metropolis during that decade. In its initial year in the business, Mercantile Insurance Company Limited bested the veterans with a remarkable performance.

In 1977, Mercantile Insurance Company Limited realized a dream nurtured by so many. At the corner of Gen. Luna and Beaterio Streets in Intramuros, a three-storey edifice was built to house the Mercantile Insurance Co., Inc.
In 1984, following the transfer to its permanent home, Mercantile Insurance Company Limited set up a service office in General Santos City which eventually grew into a branch office. To welcome the nineties, it opened regional offices in San Fernando-Pampanga, Calamba-Laguna, Dagupan City in 1993 & Legazpi in 1995.
