Who We are

For over 100 years, Americo Life, Inc.’s family of insurance companies has been committed to providing the life insurance and annuity products you need to protect your mortgage, family, and future. We listen to what you want from an insurance policy or annuity and do our best to provide a proper solution for your situation. Innovative thinking has helped us build a strong financial foundation for our business. ¹

The roots of the Americo family of companies include several insurance entities with long, successful histories on which Americo is building its future, such as Americo Financial Life and Annuity Insurance Company (formerly known as The College Life Insurance Company of America, founded in 1946); The Ohio State Life Insurance Company, founded in 1906; and Great Southern Life Insurance Company, founded in 1909. Other companies include United Fidelity Life Insurance Company, Financial Assurance Life Insurance Company, and National Farmers Union Life Insurance Company.

The history of these companies includes numerous benefit innovations.

• 1922, Great Southern Life became the first company in America to insure the lives of children.
• 1971, Ohio State Life was the first to advance death benefit payments to sustain the life of a policyholder.
• 1981, Great Southern Life led the way as one of the first American companies to offer universal life insurance.
• More recently, we were one of the first companies to introduce indexed universal life and annuity products.

Today, all sales and marketing activities are facilitated through Americo with administrative offices in Kansas City, Missouri. Americo offers life insurance and annuity products targeting the mortgage, senior, final expense, and general life insurance markets.
