Company Profile
It’s always been about helping people.

In 1928, A.P. Giannini founded a holding company called Transamerica Corporation, with the idea that he would invest in and serve the often overlooked small businesses and farmers in his community.

Giannini’s desire to take care of people in his own neighborhood soon grew into an insurance and banking empire that reached far beyond his dreams.

After federal regulation in 1956 led the company to divest its banking businesses, Transamerica sharpened its focus on insurance and found the formula for success - building a reputation as a solid company that could be trusted.

Transamerica still follows the guiding principle set forth by A.P. Giannani three-quarters of a century ago - that we are in the business of helping people.
