SBLI (Savings Bank Life Insurance Co of Mass)
In 1907 Louis D. Brandeis, a prominent Boston attorney, recognized a need for low cost life insurance. His idea was to have savings banks in Massachusetts offer life insurance, and he established the savings bank life insurance system to accomplish this objective. Today, we still sell life insurance through many banks. However, we have also been selling our products directly to the consumer for over ten years now. Most importantly, we have never wavered from our dedication in providing safe, low cost life insurance for our policyholders.
