American Life
We believe that planning for your future shouldn’t be a process that’s stuck in the past. American Life saw an opportunity to integrate cutting-edge technology into an industry that is often laden with outdated systems and complicated processes. In September 2018 we announced our partnership with FAST, a leading digital platform, making us the first insurance company to be entirely cloud-based. By introducing new technology and a forward-thinking business model, we have transformed the experience of buying insurance and annuity products from being time-consuming, complicated, and stressful, to being simple, fast, and easy.
