History


Over the last 80 years, Nationwide has grown from a small mutual auto insurer owned by policyholders to one of the largest insurance and financial services companies in the world, with more than $135 billion in statutory assets.

 

Early growth came from working together with Farm Bureaus that sponsored the company. Eight Farm Bureaus continue to promote Nationwide and provide discounts to members.

 

Nationwide is one of the largest insurance and financial services companies in the world, focusing on domestic property and casualty insurance, life insurance and retirement savings, asset management and strategic investments.

 

At Nationwide, we put our members first. We've always promised to protect the things that are the most important to them: their assets, their peace of mind and even their dreams, no matter how simple or grand they may be. We deliver that protection with an unmatched range of solutions, but we do so much more.

 

We give members more confidence through the stability of our increasingly diverse business portfolio. We enhance their experience by providing more ways to access our products and services. We provide more support in the communities where we live and work because we know we can do more together than we ever could alone.

And every year, we find more ways to deliver on our promise and build strong, lasting relationships with the people we serve.
