Ameritas Life Insurance Review

Best known for dividend-paying whole life. Here's who Ameritas fits, and how it stacks up against 40+ other A-rated carriers we quote.

About Ameritas

Founded in 1887, Ameritas is a mutual-based organization offering dividend-paying whole life and low-cost term with strong conversion privileges.

Who Ameritas tends to fit

Every carrier has an underwriting sweet spot. Ameritas is frequently competitive for shoppers prioritizing dividend-paying whole life, but the only way to know if it's your best option is to compare it against the rest of the market. Rates for the same applicant routinely vary 40% or more between A-rated insurers, and the carrier that's cheapest for your neighbor may not be cheapest for you.

How we're different: we don't work for Ameritas or any other carrier. As an independent brokerage, we quote Ameritas alongside 40+ competitors and show you the comparison, with no incentive to push one over another.

How to get Ameritas's best rate

Apply through an independent broker who can pre-shop your health profile. If Ameritas isn't the winner for your age and health class, we'll show you who is. Start with a free 60-second quote or read our guides on term vs. whole life and how much coverage you need.
