The Atlantic Coast Life Insurance Company is nearing a century of experience in the field of retirement planning, being founded in 1925. The company has been known to serve funeral homes and families by providing end of life funding and solutions. With a focus on speed of claim payments, Atlantic Coast strives to be a ‘beacon of integrity’ when it comes to dealing with clients and agents alike. Of late, it has been committed to developing its preneed and annuity distribution systems, while always protecting stakeholder interests. Being acquired by Advantage Capital in 2015 helped this process, leading to a nationwide expansion and launching of its annuity sales division.
