Rock Island, Ill. (May 6, 2019) – Royal Neighbors of America, Rock Island, Illinois, has been highlighted in Life Annuity Specialist, a branch of Money-Media, A Financial Times Company, as one of the five fastest-growing life insurers in the marketplace.

The Life Annuity Specialist publication highlighted five of the fastest-growing life insurers based on sales data collected from National Association of Insurance Commissioners between 2012-2017. In this five-year period, Royal Neighbors grew 187% underneath the leadership of President and CEO, Cynthia Tidwell. Cynthia focused her efforts on streamlining and simplifying products, as well as improving the customer experience.

“Before I came aboard, they had a variety of products that really weren’t for the benefit of the agent or the customer,” Ms. Tidwell stated. She believes the key to exponential growth for the organization is offering simplified products and a variety of annuity options. “We’ve tried to make the customer and agent experience as easy and frictionless as possible.”
