Sons of Norway
Valued Agent Partners,
Effective December 5, 2022, Sons of Norway will no longer accept new applications for the Guaranteed Issue Whole Life (GIWL) product.
This decision was not taken lightly as we pride ourselves in offering solutions to ALL of our members; however, the results of recent studies indicated that the performance of this product was not hitting the target for the organization's long-term success.
As such, immediate action is needed to curtail this risk, and while it pains us to limit our product availability, we appreciate your understanding as we make this change and continue to develop offerings to ensure our members, and you, our trusted agent partners are best served now and in the future.
What does this mean?
What does this mean to applications in flight?
Where are we going?
Sons of Norway does not wish to be known solely as a "GI Shop", and it's through this lens that we look to the future, where we maintain our practice of fair pricing, excellent customer service, and offering life & annuity products that put our members first. Our commitment now is to work hard, and quickly, to develop products that fit on your final expense and traditional whole life shelf space.
As we work to enhance our product offering, check out our Simplified Issue Whole Life (SIWL) product. SIWL offers face values up to $50k*, and we recently removed the Personal Health Interview (PHI). Run a quote with Sons of Norway with your next final expense case and see how we stack up.
Should you have any additional questions, please contact sales at (833) 707-0012 option 2.
