National Western Life Insurance (NWL) is an Austin, Texas headquartered insurance carrier that has received accolades over the years, including being previously named a Ward’s Top 50 insurance company. National Western Life offers an extensive portfolio of products, including whole, term, and universal life insurance packages. The company works with independent advisors who help clients with long-term annuity, retirement planning, and estate planning services.

For more than 60 years, NWL has been highly respected in its field, earning top-level ratings with independent financial bodies such as AM Best and Standard & Poor's, and has shown consistent revenue growth over time.

NWL doesn’t only help Texas clients, however. National Western’s domestic operations extend to forty-nine states, the District of Columbia and four U.S. territories. In addition to traditional policies, the company offers products through its OptionLife series that are simple in nature and offer convenient coverage to those who otherwise would prefer not to go through a traditional underwriting process.
