Why Choose Us?

We are strong

The Knights of Columbus is a fraternal benefit society that is strong, secure and stable. Members can be confident that we’ll be here when you need us. We’ve been successfully protecting families since 1882, and our outlook remains bright.

Don’t just take our word for it. There is no more highly rated insurer in North America than the Knights of Columbus. A.M. Best has bestowed on us their highest rating (A++, Superior) for 35 consecutive years.

 
Remember, in 2010, the Knights of Columbus gave more than $154 million to Catholic and other charitable causes. In these uncertain times, find comfort in an organization that leads the way in doing good for others while doing good for our own.

We are secure

Since 1882, we have been committed to protecting the financial futures of our Knights and their families. We do this by paying claims and dividends to our insured members. In 2010, we paid well over $442 million in death claims and other benefits, and more than $322 million in dividends to our policyholders. Even more impressive is the fact that in the past decade, the Knights of Columbus paid more than $3.2 billion in dividends to insured members.

We are stable

Prudent leadership and management has led to the rapid growth of our assets, providing an adequate foundation for our member’s protection, and securing our obligations to our insured and their beneficiaries. Also, because we are a fraternal benefit society, we have no stockholders. Our owners are our members and we return our good fortune in the form of dividends to our policyholders.

Term Plans 

For Temporary Needs

Are your life insurance needs temporary? Many people’s needs are, indeed, temporary – even though they may be of long duration. Your mortgage, business loans, educational funds, and needs of children at home are some examples of temporary needs that can be met with term life insurance.

Term insurance – as its name denotes – remains in effect for the term of the policy. When the term ends, your coverage stops – although you do have the option of renewing the policy (for another term) or converting it to a permanent plan. For these wide-ranging needs, we offer a full range of term insurance plans. Because the protection they provide is temporary, these plans are lower-priced than permanent plans for the same amount. Here are some of our available policies:

Annual Renewable Term

• Ultra Premier Term
• Premier Term
• Level Term Insurance
• 10 Year Term
• 15 Year Term
• 20 Year Term
