Citizens, Inc. entered into a new distribution agreement with Amerus Financial Group. Under this partnership, Amerus will sell Citizens' life and final expense insurance products marketed with the Amerus Silver Shield brand.

This partnership advances Citizens' goal to be the industry leader and first-choice partner in tailor-made white-label products while allowing Amerus to add another valuable product for their clients. With Citizens' product expertise, support, and ability to quickly develop new products in multiple languages it lends itself to being a strong partner in the white-label space. Together with Amerus' established history and commitment to their senior clients, Citizens' white-label product, Amerus Silver Shield, will serve the life and final expense market.
