Choosing a life insurance company

What to consider when choosing a life insurance company

Choosing a life insurance provider is more than just looking at the cost of the premium. Learn how to evaluate financial ratings, start the process and understand the types of insurance available.

Providing those who depend on you the most with financial security, your life insurance policy is a promise to those you love that you'll continue to protect them financially, even after you're gone. For this reason, it's important to select a life insurance company that you can trust to deliver on that promise when you can't be here to make it yourself.

When it comes time to select a life insurance company, you'll most likely have a lot of questions. But with so many life insurance companies offering a variety of products and services, how do you:

  • Know which company is best for you?
  • Find out how financially sound the company is?
  • Understand what their underwriting guidelines are?
  • Turn an online quote into a policy?
  • Make policy changes or get help when you need it?
