assurers
Those who guarantee
Assurers are those who provide assurance—people or entities that guarantee, promise, or give confidence about something.
In insurance contexts, particularly British usage, an assurer is an insurance company or underwriter: The assurers refused to pay the claim.
More broadly, anyone who reassures or affirms can be an assurer: She needed assurers that her plan would work.
