Important Notice about Purchasing a VALIC Annuity From Us

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money-laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who purchases certain annuity products. What this means for you: When you purchase certain annuity products from us, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.

Annuities and insurance products are offered by The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (VALIC), AIG Annuity Insurance Company, AIG-affiliated insurance companies or other approved companies. Each underwriting company is financially responsible for its own insurance products.
