A Mark of Excellence: How Our A.M. Best “A” Rating Benefits You

July 14, 2025

When choosing an insurance provider, trust and reliability are everything. At Amalgamated Life Insurance Company, we understand that our clients, whether individuals, employers, or brokers, need assurance that their insurance partner is financially sound and committed to long-term service excellence. That’s why we’re proud to share that Amalgamated Life has consistently earned an “A” (Excellent) rating from A.M. Best Company since 1975.

But what does this rating really mean? And more importantly, why should it matter to you?

Understanding the A.M. Best Rating

A.M. Best is one of the oldest and most respected credit rating agencies in the world, specializing in the insurance industry. Since 1899, A.M. Best has been evaluating the financial strength and operational performance of insurance companies globally. Their ratings are based on a rigorous analysis of a company’s balance sheet strength, operating performance, business profile, and enterprise risk management.

An “A” (Excellent) rating is a strong indicator of a company’s ability to meet its ongoing insurance obligations. It reflects a stable outlook, sound financial practices, and a proven track record of paying claims reliably and efficiently.

Why It Matters

Whether you’re a policyholder, plan sponsor, or broker, our A.M. Best rating offers several key benefits:

  1. Financial Strength You Can Count On
    Our “A” (Excellent) rating confirms that Amalgamated Life has the capital reserves and financial discipline to meet our commitments, regardless of shifts in the economic landscape. This means you can trust us to be there when you need us most.
  2. Long-Term Stability
    We’ve maintained this rating for nearly five decades. That kind of consistency doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of prudent management, strategic growth, and a deep commitment to our policyholders. You’re not just choosing a provider for today; you’re partnering with a company built for the long haul.
  3. Confidence in Claims Payment
    One of the most important aspects of any insurance relationship is the ability to pay claims promptly and fairly. Our rating reflects our strong claims-paying ability, giving you peace of mind that your benefits will be there when you need them.
  4. A Trusted Partner for Brokers and Employers
    For brokers and plan sponsors, our rating is a valuable tool when evaluating insurance partners. It signals to your clients that you’re recommending a provider with a proven track record of excellence, financial integrity, and customer-first service.
