What a name change means
Bankers Life Insurance Company of New York changed its name to Athene Life Insurance Company of New York on 3 March 2014. The record places it in Pearl River, New York. A rename leaves the same legal insurer responsible for the contract; the letterhead, payment address, and service number can change. Read the current name on your statement before sending a payment.
The record we checked describes a name change rather than a sale. The policy still has to be read for its own premium, beneficiary, riders, and any cash-value terms.
