Absolutely. We take protecting your personal information very seriously, and do all we can to ensure your information remains private. Here are some of precautions we take and a little about some of the safeguards we use to keep your information safe:
- Only employees have access to nonpublic personal information and only on an “as needed” basis.
- Information we classify as “Restricted” under our Information Handling Procedure (such as your ACH account number) is always protected and stored with encryption.
- We use Transport Layer Security (TLS) whenever personal information is sent (or “transported”) to us online.
This secures data against hackers and makes sensitive information, like passwords and credit card numbers, encrypted and unreadable.

You can use your online service account to access many of our life insurance, accidental death & dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, and annuity products. However, what you can do online will vary some between those different types of accounts. If you’re having trouble accessing a policy, it could be because that policy isn’t active anymore or because you have a type of policy that can’t be serviced online right now. This includes:
- Universal Life
- Supplemental Health
- Disability Income
If you need help with a policy you own but can't access in your online account, please call us.
-
Only the policy owner can create an online service account for their policy. We understand in some cases family members may want to help the policy owner with this. The policy owner’s personal and contact information must be used to set up the account, and they must make all important decisions related to the account itself.
-
There are a few reasons why you may not see a policy once you log in to your online service account. In most cases, if you don’t see a policy in your account, it’s because that policy: was purchased after your online service account was created (and simply needs to be connected to your account), the policy is inactive, or the policy is a type that can’t be serviced online at this time.
If you need help with a policy you own but can't access in your online account, please call us.

We understand creating and remembering new passwords can be challenging, especially when the password you want can’t be used. However, our password requirements have been created to ensure the safety of your account. Not reusing old passwords, changing passwords every so often, and not using the same password on multiple websites are just a few things you can do to help boost your online safety.

Consenting to Electronic Delivery and Electronic Signature gives you the power to make certain transactions in your online service account. And as we continue to improve and expand our online capabilities, this consent may let you receive and sign certain documents online and complete other actions—depending on the type of policy you have.
-
The policies attached to your online service account will be listed under the 'Welcome' greeting and can be identified by the policy type such as Term Insurance, Whole Life Insurance, Accidental Death and Dismemberment, Zone Income Annuity and Horizon Variable Annuity.
When you have more than one policy on your account, the first policy listed will automatically display. To display a different policy, select the policy type for that policy.
There are a few reasons why a policy may not display. In some cases, this may be because you have a type of policy we don't service online. This includes:
- Universal Life
- Supplemental Health
- Disability Income
In other cases, it may be because you purchased a policy AFTER you created your online service account. If this is the case, you may be able to find your policy by:
- Logging in to your personal account
- Select My account
- Select Manage my account
- Select Find Another Policy
After completing these steps, we can see if other policies can be found using information from your online service account. In other cases, you may not see your policy because it is not active. If you need help with a policy you own but can't access in your online service account, please call us.

Personal information such as your date of birth and Social Security number are needed as a security measure to verify your identity and to find your policy.
