S&P Global Ratings (formerly Standard and Poor’s) affirmed an AA- rating, its fourth-highest of 22 possible ratings, for the OneAmerica life insurance companies, AUL and State Life.

"Out of our many investments in people and processes, we have one goal: to serve our customers better. Everything we do at OneAmerica centers on creating financial security for our members and policyholders,” said Scott Davison, chairman, president and CEO of OneAmerica. “Our mutual structure ensures our resources stay within the company while protecting our customers and providing additional products and services.”

“As proud as we are of these ratings results, the most important measure of our 2022 success is the $6 billion we paid to customers. That number represents thousands of times we were there when they needed us most and provides assurance that we can deliver on our promises and uphold our mission to provide great products, exceptional service and relationships that customers can depend on for a lifetime,” Davison added.

The insurance companies of OneAmerica are among the 8% of U.S. life insurers with an A.M. Best rating of A+ (Superior) or higher and an S&P rating of AA- or higher.¹
