You make a lot of decisions every day. Some are small, like what to make for dinner or what color to paint the living room. Some are big, such as accepting an offer for a new job or starting a family. Selecting a life insurance company falls in the “big decision” category. There are many options out there and choosing the right company can be difficult, especially if you aren’t familiar with your choices.
If you want to learn more about North American and our life insurance products, you’re in the right place. Our products are designed to be competitively priced, while still offering client-centric features.
You won’t find North American running expensive TV commercials or listed on the New York Stock Exchange. As a privately-owned company, we invest in developing products that bring more value to our clients, their families, and the financial professionals helping you plan for the future.
What is your financial plan missing?
Here are a few ways life insurance can help fill the gap:
Outstanding Mortgage
You want to ensure your family is financially protected in case you pass away. You apply for life insurance with a death benefit equal to the remaining balance on your mortgage, allowing your family to continue living in your home if the unexpected were to happen.
Unprepared for Retirement
You’re approaching retirement age, but you don’t have enough saved in your retirement account. You apply for life insurance and your financial professional helps you secure death benefit protection with a policy that could also help supplement your retirement income.
Medical Illness
You want to pass along an inheritance but you’re also concerned about the future cost of an extended illness. You learn about living benefits offered through life insurance, which, coupled with a death benefit, could help you achieve both.1
Extra Emergency Fund
You have an emergency fund, but now you’re wondering if it’s reaching its full potential. You apply for a life insurance policy that provides needed death benefit protection, has cash value potential, and allows you to access funds later in life if the need arises.2

1. Accelerated death benefits (Living benefits) are subject to eligibility requirements.
2. Policy loans from life insurance policies generally are not subject to income tax, provided the contract is not a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), as defined by Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code. A policy loan or withdrawal from a life insurance policy that is a MEC is taxable upon receipt to the extent cash value of the contract exceeds premium paid. Distributions from MECs are subject to federal income tax to the extent of the gain in the policy and taxable distributions are subject to a 10% additional tax prior to age 59½, with certain exceptions. Policy loans and withdrawals will reduce cash value and death benefit. Policy loans are subject to interest charges. Consult with and rely on your tax advisor or attorney on your specific situation. Income and growth on accumulated cash values is generally taxable only upon withdrawal. Adverse tax consequences may result if withdrawals exceed premiums paid into the policy. Withdrawals or surrenders made during a Surrender Charge period will be subject to withdrawal charges, processing fees, or surrender charges, and may reduce the ultimate death benefit and cash value. Surrender charges vary by product, issue age, sex, underwriting class, and policy year.

4. North American Annual Statement 2022.
Life insurance policies have terms under which the policy may be continued in force or discontinued. Permanent life insurance requires monthly deductions to pay the policy’s charges and expenses, some of which will increase as the insured gets older. These deductions may reduce the cash value of the policy. Current cost of insurance rates and current interest rates are not guaranteed. Therefore, the planned periodic premium may not be sufficient to carry the contract to maturity. For costs and complete details, refer to the policy or call or write North American Company for Life and Health Insurance, One Sammons Plaza, Sioux Falls, SD 57193. Telephone: 877-872-0757.
