History
The company traces its origins to The Citizens’ Assurance Company Limited, registered on 31 December 1886 for the stated purpose “to popularise Industrial Life Assurance, and to carry it to the homes of the working classes by issuing policies for small amounts and receiving the premiums thereon each week”. It later became known as Mutual Life & Citizens Assurance Company Limited.
In 1982, Lend Lease took ownership of MLC and in 1989 the ‘nest egg’ logo was launched – a symbol of growth and protection that MLC provides for its customers.
MLC was purchased by National Australia Bank on 30 June 2000 from Lend Lease Corporation Ltd.[1]
On 3 October 2016, MLC Life Insurance began a new chapter through the creation of a strategic partnership between NAB and Nippon Life. This new partnership has created a specialised life insurance business in which NAB retains a 20% shareholding and Nippon Life holds an 80% of the shares in MLC Limited, which operates the MLC Life Insurance business. MLC Life Insurance is Australian-led and managed.
