COMPANY HISTORY

USAlliance Life and Security Company sold its first insurance policy May 1, 2013.

The story of USAlliance Life and Security Company begins with the story of USAlliance Corporation (“USAC”).

This is our story.

This is the story of using our Midwest values to build a life insurance company.

This is the story of dedicated men and women who did not let the great recession stop them. It is the story of our rugged pioneers who settled rural America.

This is the story of building a company during the great recession when most said it couldn’t be built – we proved it can be done.

This is the story of USAlliance and the story of thousands of Midwesterners who believed, fought for us, and stood by us so together we could build a company which makes us proud.

2,050 Kansans and 1,425 North Dakotans have joined us as shareholders in this adventure and venture.

This is the story of Kansans and North Dakotans investing over $25,000,000 for capital and surplus to build our life insurance companies.

May 1, 2013 USAlliance Life and Security Company (“USALSC”) sold its first policy for $400. On April 18, 2012 Dakota Capital Life Insurance Company (“DCLIC”) wrote its first policy. Separate paths, but a courageous journey nonetheless.

Raising the capital is only part of the story. Partners and products are essential.

Without a full suite of products, we could not compete. We began surveying our shareholders and producers and learning the insurance needs of our business leaders and citizens. Then we built a suite of products designed for individuals, families, and small and large businesses. Click on the PRODUCTS tab at the top of this page for our USALSC products.

But products and capital are only part of the story. We needed world class partners to help us through the tough competition and the regulatory environment in today’s world.

World class partners such as Optimum Re with an A- rating and Gen Re, the highest rated reinsurer in the world incidentally run by our neighbor, Warren Buffet and Berkshire Hathaway. These relationships allow us to manage our risks for our policyholders and for our shareholders.

To help us manage our shareholder’s investment and protect our policyholders we sought a world class investment manager who could help navigate the treacherous waters of safety, liquidity and diversification. NEAM is an insurance-only focused investment manager that manages almost 70 billion dollars in insurance assets. This Berkshire Hathaway company is also run by Warren Buffet. Now we are ready!

From that first $400 premium May 1, 2013, today we have 4,225 policies with total premium since we began of $43,602,299. Our premium for 2018 was $11,067,469, a far cry from that first policy in 2013.

In March of 2013 we signed up our first producer. Today we have 750 producers in Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Missouri.

While we are so proud of our organic growth success, we need to develop even more opportunities. On January 1, 2013 we entered into a reinsurance transaction with Unified Life Insurance Company which has resulted in premium of $14,324,566 since inception.

On September 1, 2015 USALSC entered into an agreement to provide certain insurance administrative functions, data processing systems, daily operational services, management consulting, and marketing development to Dakota Capital Life Insurance Company (“DCLIC”). This agreement has an initial term of 60 months (beginning on September 1, 2015). On August 1, 2017, DCLIC became a wholly-owned subsidiary of USALSC. Subsequent to the acquisition of DCLIC, this agreement became an inter-company agreement and is still inforce.

Dakota Capital Life Insurance Company received a Certificate of Authority from the North Dakota Insurance Department effective January 24, 2012. Click here for our DCLIC products.

On August 1, 2017 the USAC acquired Northern Plains Capital Corporation pursuant to a Plan and Agreement of Merger dated May 23, 2017, under which Alliance Merger Sub, Inc. (“Acquisition”), a wholly owned subsidiary of USAC, merged with and into Northern Plains (“Merger”) with Acquisition being the surviving company. USAlliance exchanged .5841 shares of stock for each share of Northern Plains common stock, or 1,644,458 shares. Subsequent to the merger, Acquisition was merged into USAC and DCLIC became a part of USALSC.

On September 30, 2017, USALSC entered into a coinsurance agreement with American Life and Security Corporation (“ALSC”) to assume 100% of a certain block of life insurance policies. USALSC is also the servicer of this block of policies. USALSC paid a ceding commission of $1,850,000 and received $7,153,663 from ALSC. The agreement will remain in effect until all liabilities associated with this block of policies have been satisfied.

On December 14, 2018, USALSC acquired Great Western Life Insurance Company (“GWLIC”) pursuant to Stock Purchase agreement entered into on October 11, 2018 with Great Western Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of American Enterprise Group, Inc. USALSC paid $500,000 to acquire all outstanding shares of GWLIC. GWLIC has capital and surplus of $1,721,012. Subsequent to the acquisition, GWLIC was renamed US Alliance Life and Security Company – Montana.
