At Great American Life Insurance Company^®, we are proud of our strong heritage. Our company dates back to 1872 when the German American Insurance Company was founded. In 1918, the Company changed its name to Great American Insurance Company. In 1959, Great American Life was formed as a subsidiary to offer life insurance through Great American Insurance agents. Later in the 1970s, we became a leader in the tax-deferred annuities industry.

Today, we are licensed to sell products in all states (except New York), the District of Columbia, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam.
