Aviva made a considerable expansion into the United States structured settlement annuity market in the late 1990s and early in The Millennium, initially through acquisition or mergers with CGU (itself a product of the marriage between Commercial Union and General Accident), Bankers Life of New York and AmerUs.
While it is possible that you have noticed that your or your client's check payor or EFT record on the bank statement has a different name, I'm here to help you by listing the various iterations of company names that have taken place to the Aviva structured settlement program.
