"Pocket Agent further extends our reach to customers beyond the service they have become accustomed to receiving in a State Farm agents' office," said Patty Gaumond, Vice President Operations of Customer Care Center - Digital at State Farm. "This integrated approach across all our access points illustrates our continued commitment to be there for our customers anytime and anyplace they wish to do business."

Pocket Agent provides a number of unique features to registered State Farm customers, including the ability submit a claim from anywhere.

• View all policies on a summary screen, including policy name, type and renewal date.
• Deposit a check  with MyTime Deposit®
• Record accident details, capture photos, and submit information.
