Mony Life Insurance Company is now, AXA [Financial] Equitable Life Insurance Company

About: AXA has been in business since 1859 and was formerly The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. It is headquartered in NYC and is considered a leading financial protection company. As of December 2010, the assets under management totaled $559.9 billion.

Offerings: AXA Equitable offers term, whole, variable, universal, variable universal and survivorship life insurance policies. In addition, AXA Equitable offers fixed, variable, and immediate annuities as well as qualified retirement plans.

Unique Features: As a policy holder, you don’t need to wait for an agent to return your call in order to get the necessary forms for filing a life insurance claim. You can download all the forms you need from the website. Your benefit will be paid into a Money Market account on which you will be able to write checks as needed to pay final expenses. While you can opt for paper statements, AXA prides itself on offering paperless services for nearly all of its products.

Another unique feature resulting from the merger is the access to the AXA personal analysis. Instead of completing a rather generic form and arriving at an equally generic quote, the AXA website provides you with a four step process for determining the type and amount of insurance that is best for you.
