120 Years of Financial Strength

For more than 120 years, Western & Southern Financial Group has demonstrated resolve and resiliency throughout challenging economic cycles. Our mutual holding company structure allows us to invest for the long-term without the short-term market pressure that often compels higher risks. We maintain a rigorous asset-liability management process to continuously monitor and adjust portfolios to align with the best long-term interests of our policyholders.

Western & Southern’s financial strength is well-known. It is the cornerstone of our success. We remain deeply committed to protecting our financial stability on behalf of our customers. Please feel free to contact us at 1.866.832.7719 if you have any questions or would like additional information.

New My Accounts Registration and Login

As part of our ongoing commitment to continually improve the online security of your personal information, Western & Southern Life has implemented a new registration process for our policy/contract owners and shareholders who access their accounts through WSLife.com. The new process features a personalized WSLife.com Site Verification Text – a graphic element that appears during your login to visually verify that the login page presented to you is truly from WSLife.com and not a "spoof" site or a "phisher". In addition, the login process has been separated into two separate screens for entering your user name and password.

As a result of these new enhanced security measures, all owners wishing to access their accounts are required to reregister, a process that may take a few minutes to complete. To expedite the process, please have your policy/contract number, Social Security Number, and insured's date of birth at hand. To begin your reregistration, please login with your current user name and password.

You can read more about these security upgrades in My Accounts FAQs and One-Time Payment FAQs. If you have any questions, please use our Live Help or call our Client Relationship Center at 1.866.832.7719 between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. ET, Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. ET on Friday, and
9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. ET on Saturday (excluding holidays).
