Mutual of Omaha Insurance Company, or Mutual of Omaha, has a long-standing history of growth and widespread support of clients.

“For more than 100 years, Mutual of Omaha’s legacy has been a commitment to helping people protect what’s important to them,” according to the Mutual of Omaha website.

The Nebraska-based company’s vision is for every customer to have “a financial future imagined, planned and secured.” With a lion as its logo, Mutual of Omaha reflects its values of protection, strength and loyalty.

Mutual of Omaha currently issues two types of annuity products: income annuities and deferred annuities. These annuities are underwritten by United of Omaha Life Insurance Company.

Deferred annuities offer tax-deferred growth. These products have a rate of return that is guaranteed for a chosen period of five or seven years. You can also choose from a variety of income payout options.
