Restoring trust in the life insurance industry
First Life Financial Co., Inc. is a trusted Coyiuto Group of Companies member. For 65 years, the focus has been on providing reliable and secure life insurance options. With continued growth, the commitment remains strong to deliver financial security and peace of mind.
Company overview
Originally, we were Builders Life Assurance Company, Inc., but everything changed in 1988. That’s when we joined the Coyiuto Group and became First Life Insurance. This marked the
beginning of significant growth, solidifying our presence in key business districts in the Philippines and global markets.
This transition began our expansion and established strong roots in major business districts and vital international partnerships, including one with the Swiss Life Network. Known for reliable and guaranteed products and a customer-first approach, our consistent performance sets us apart in the life insurance sector.
Our affiliate, Prudential Guarantee & Assurance Inc. (PGAI), is not only the flagship company of the Coyiuto Group but also a leader in the non-life insurance market in the Philippines. In
2022, PGAI was recognized for its excellence and distinguished as the country’s top non-life insurance provider based on net premiums written. This accolade underscores PGAI’s critical
role and esteemed status within the group.
Strategic partnerships and clientele
At First Life Insurance, we’re proud to work with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Ayala Land, Dole Philippines, Unilab, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, and Canon. We ensure excellence and reliability with the help of our partners: Swiss Life, the world’s largest employee benefits network, and National Reinsurance Corporation of the Philippines.
