Aflac Incorporated /ˈæflæk/ (American Family Life Assurance Company) is an American insurance company and is the largest provider of supplemental insurance in the United States.[3] It was founded in 1955 and is based in Columbus, Georgia. In the U.S., it underwrites a wide range of insurance policies, but is perhaps more known for its payroll deduction insurance coverage, which pays cash benefits when a policyholder has a covered accident or illness. The company states it "provides financial protection to more than 50 million people worldwide".[4]
In 2009, Aflac acquired Continental American Insurance Company for $100 million,[5] enabling them to sell supplemental insurance on both the individual and group platforms.[6] As of June 30, 2012[update], it was represented by approximately 19,300 sales agencies in Japan and 76,900 licensed sales associates in the U.S.[7]
