"PSI is a young, dynamic, fast-growing agency that has already achieved a lot of success, and we're excited to come alongside them to provide more resources and support to accelerate their growth," said Bryan W.

Access to Integrity's best-in-class shared services such as compliance, accounting, human resources, IT, legal and a full-service marketing and advertising firm will further help PSI Groups achieve its ambitious growth objectives.

"The customer experience with insurance has always been very important to me," said Jerrod Ewing, CEO of PSI Groups. "With their incredible network and innovation, Integrity is simplifying the insurance process — and that's a game changer for the families we serve. In this business, you can only go so far on your own, and by partnering with Integrity we can go to the next level much faster than we ever imagined. Having access to the experience and expertise from my mentors and other industry leaders within the Integrity network will make a huge difference for the entire PSI Groups team as we work to protect even more Americans."

Additionally, PSI Groups' employees qualify for the Integrity Employee Ownership Plan, which provides meaningful company ownership.

"PSI Groups has built a solid foundation for success that will only grow stronger with Integrity," said Barry Clarkson, President and CEO of Equis Financial and Managing Partner with Integrity.
