Fortune 100 insurer and financial services firm founded in 1926, offering auto, home, life and pet insurance plus retirement planning, annuities and mutual funds.
Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company is one of the largest insurance and financial services companies in the world, with annual sales of nearly $70 billion and a place on the Fortune 100. The company employs thousands of people and is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 1926 as a mutual auto insurer for Ohio farmers, it has operated for nearly a century and serves individuals, families and businesses across the United States.
Its products span personal and commercial insurance and investment services. Auto insurance remains the original product line, alongside home, life and pet insurance. The financial services side covers retirement planning, annuities and mutual funds. Together these offerings address two broad needs: protecting assets and preparing financially for the long term.
Nationwide is organised as a mutual company, and it describes its founding principles as valuing people and putting customers and partners at the centre of its operations. Its stated mission is to help people protect what matters most to them and prepare for tomorrow; the phrase "on your side" is treated internally as a commitment rather than a slogan.
