History – Transamerica

A history of innovation

Accessible to all

Transamerica has stood for innovation since 1904, when a young entrepreneur named Amadeo P. Giannini founded a bank in San Francisco to make financial services available to everyone.


Today, Transamerica encourages our customers to consider their long-term health in pursuit of their financial success. Because just like with planning and saving, we believe the little steps we take today can make a big difference for tomorrow.

One Icon Deserves Another

Inspired by Giannini, Transamerica was built on the idea that financial security should be available to everyone. So it’s only fitting that our headquarters would transform the San Francisco skyline in the same way that we’ve transformed financial services. Located at 600 Montgomery Street in the heart of one of the city's most storied sections, the iconic Transamerica Pyramid is still recognized internationally today for its distinctive structure.
 
Although the Pyramid no longer serves as the Transamerica's headquarters, it is still strongly associated with our company and is depicted in our logo. Today, the Pyramid stands as a symbol of innovation and longevity, much like Transamerica itself.
