Founded in 1906 in Portland, Oregon, Standard Insurance Company has earned a reputation for exceeding customer expectations and maintaining the highest standards of integrity and innovation. In 1999, our company went through a demutualization process, changing from a mutual to a stock insurance insurer. Now known as The Standard, we're the flagship subsidiary of StanCorp Financial Group, and we're setting the standard from coast to coast in insurance, retirement services and annuity investments.
