Insurance that makes a difference
At GBU Life, we specialize in life insurance and annuity products to help protect families and anchor retirements.
We do things differently at GBU as we don’t have shareholders. We don’t have clients. Instead, we have members—members who come to GBU Life to add security to their futures, build their legacies and impact the communities around them.
From the start, GBU Life has been member-owned and member-driven. As a not-for-profit company, we emphasize value—and values. Our members can realize their financial protection goals and give back to people and causes that matter most to them.
