American General Life Insurance Company Review

AIG has been a household name in the life insurance industry for many years and they definitely have their pros and cons.  Below we dive into the details about AIG to give you a better understanding before making any type of purchase decision.

Before we get too far I want to share one of the main reasons AIG is frustrating and you’ll be shocked to realize this.

Insurance companies have networks of licensed agents used to sell or distribute their products.  Seems simple right?

But, the problem with AIG is they do not allow their writing agents (your potential agent) to call in and request information about your policy.  They require the top level of the distribution pyramid access only and therefor creating a barrier to answer questions in a timely manner.

Aside from this one quirk about AIG, I think it’s a great company.  You just can’t be surprised when it takes longer than expected to get policy information from you agent.
