In the U.S., Aflac underwrites a wide range of insurance policies, but is perhaps more known for its payroll deduction insurance coverage, which pays cash benefits when a policyholder has a covered accident or illness. The company states it "provides financial protection to more than 50 million people worldwide."〔About Aflac(), accessed September 15, 2015.〕 In 2009, Aflac acquired Continental American Insurance Company for $100 million;〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aflac, Form 8-K, Current Report, Filing Date July 29, 2009 )〕 this enabled Aflac to sell supplemental insurance on both the individual and group platform .〔() from Aflac.com〕 As of June 30, 2012, Aflac was represented by approximately 19,300 sales agencies in Japan, and 76,900 licensed sales associates in the U.S.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aflac, Form 10-Q, Quarterly Report, Filing Date August 3, 2012 )〕 ==History== The company was founded by brothers John, Paul (died 2014), and William Amos in Columbus, Georgia, in 1955, as American Family Life Insurance Company of Columbus. In 1964, the company name was changed to American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus. The company, in 1990, adopted the Aflac initials, although the official name of the underwriting subsidiary remains American Family Life Assurance Company of Columbus. Aflac announced the appointment of Frederick J. Crawford as Chief Financial Officer, as well as Executive Vice President in June 2015. The company signed 6,426 policyholders in its first year.〔(Aflac History ) from Aflac.com〕 Aflac pioneered cancer insurance in 1958. Beginning in 1964, the company decided to focus sales on worksite settings, eventually through policies sponsored by employers and funded through payroll deductions. By 2003, more than 98% of Aflac policies in the United States were issued on a payroll deduction basis, making the company a leader in that approach to policy distribution. In 1973, Aflac established a holding company, the American Family Corporation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aflac」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
