About
The origins of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (MetLife) go back to 1863, when a group of New York City businessmen raised $100,000 to found the National Union Life and Limb Insurance Company. In 1909, MetLife Vice President Haley Fiske announced that "insurance, not merely as a business proposition, but as a social program" would be the future policy of the company. Over the years, MetLife has made a difference by supporting urban renewal projects and community financing. The company's social commitment and its commitment to the security of its policyholders have proven to be good business. In 2001 MetLife was the first insurance company to establish a financial holding company with a nationally chartered bank.
