Pan American Life Insurance Company
About the Company
Crawford H. Ellis, a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, came up with the idea for Pan American Life Insurance Company when he was on a ship that was delivering produce to the United States from Central and South America. Ellis wanted to create a company that offered the people of Latin America personal and business insurance protection. In 1911, Ellis shared his idea with Dr. Edward G. Simmons, Dr. Marion Souchon, and Eugene J. McGivney, and the four of them founded the company together.They sold their first life insurance policy in March 1912. Today, the company has life insurance policies with thousands of customers in the Americas. They are licensed to operate in 43 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. They have affiliates in Columbia, Guatemala, and Panama and have branch offices in Ecuador, El Salvador, and Honduras.
In addition to offering term life insurance, Pan America also offers universal life and whole life products.
