From the President's Desk

A Message from Walter E. Bixby

Welcome to Old American Insurance Company. Since our founding in 1939, our mission has been to provide present and future peace of mind to the senior market and, in turn, enhance the quality of life for both our clients and their loved ones.

It’s our desire to know our customers and serve their individual needs. This foundation allows Old American to serve nearly 200,000 policyholders in 47 states and the District of Columbia.

During retirement, most people want to spend time traveling or with family and loved ones doing things they most enjoy. Paying for final expenses is a burden that nobody wishes to leave for their loved ones or spend their golden years worrying about.

As a fourth generation family-oriented company, Old American is proud to help other families provide for future expenses. We recognize this concern and have made it our ultimate goal to focus on filling these needs by providing peace of mind to our policyholders and their families. Additionally, as the subsidiary of Kansas City Life Insurance Company, Old American continues to support the Kansas City Life’s fundamental mission of providing “Security Assured” to its policyholders. This mission has been the sole focus of Kansas City Life since its founding in 1895.

From our agents in the field to associates in our Home Office, we will continue to serve you well and offer a compassionate hand when you need it most.

We are thankful for all of our customers and employees who have been a part of the Old American family, and we always welcome new faces to join us in our mission to provide peace of mind to the senior market.
