Overview
Humania Assurance Inc. is a Canadian mutual life insurance company with over 150 years of history. Originally established in 1874 as La Survivance by Union Saint-Joseph de Saint-Hyacinthe, the company rebranded to Humania Assurance in 2013 to reflect its commitment to a human-centered approach to insurance. As a mutual company, Humania is owned by its policyholders rather than shareholders, allowing it to prioritize long-term member value.
