Far fewer complaints than expected for its size — the strongest band we assign, and COUNTRY's single best measure.
Financial strength
Too close to callNeither pulls ahead on financial strength: Amica posts A+ and COUNTRY Financial Not published, a difference too small to choose on.
AM Best A+ (Superior), affirmed March 2026.
An A+ rating circulates widely, but COUNTRY's own newsroom is blocked to automated access and AM Best's site is too, so we could not read it from a primary page. We would rather show nothing than a rating we did not verify.
Discounts
Amica aheadAmica takes discounts on 17 published against COUNTRY Financial's 10 published.
Seventeen published discounts — among the longest lists here — including bundling up to 30% and multi-car up to 25%.
Around ten discounts, including an unusual engaged-or-newly-married discount for drivers aged 21 to 29, plus the DriverIQ telematics program.
Digital experience
Amica aheadAmica takes digital experience on 4.82 iOS / 3.2 Android against COUNTRY Financial's 3.46 iOS / 2.9 Android.
4.82 on the App Store but 3.2 on Google Play across a small rating base. The platform gap is severe and Android users should set expectations accordingly.
3.46 on the App Store and 2.92 on Google Play — poor on both. Curiously, the separate DriverIQ telematics app rates 4.55, so the weakness is in policy servicing rather than engineering.
