Armed Forces Insurance and First Command Announce Partnership
LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (January 16, 2018) — Armed Forces Insurance proudly announces a partnership with First Command Financial Services, Inc. that will provide their property and casualty insurance program to First Command clients. The alliance went into effect in June; property and casualty insurance policies with First Command were reassigned to and supported by Armed Forces Insurance’s servicing team. This exciting alliance will extend a host of benefits to current First Command clients and build on one they’re already accustomed to: exceptional customer service.
“Our partnership with First Command is a natural fit; both AFI and First Command share a rich history dedicated to serving those that serve this nation,” said Kurt Seelbach, President & CEO, Armed Forces Insurance. “We are honored to provide First Command clients with personalized advice and the best solutions for their unique insurance needs.”
AFI was founded in 1887 by a group of active-duty officers with the goal of protecting those who protect us all. Like AFI, First Command is dedicated to serving the unique needs of military personnel. Since 1958, First Command Financial Advisors have been shaping positive financial behaviors through face-to-face coaching with hundreds of thousands of client families. Their focus is on helping clients get financially squared away from the start of their military careers to retirement and beyond.
“Through our partnership with Armed Forces Insurance, we are reaffirming our 60-year commitment to serve the needs of our Nation’s military families,” said Scott Spiker, chairman/CEO of First Command. “We look forward to working with AFI to provide our clients access to products that support sound financial management behaviors and the effective pursuit of long-term financial security.”
