ByShine Brighter After You Cancel Brighthouse Financial With DoNotPay!
Brighthouse Financial is among the top annuity and life insurance companies in the United States. The company was a result of MetLife’s decision to separate a big chunk of its U.S. retail segment that deals with life insurance and annuities in 2017.
In the company’s product portfolio, you can find various types of annuities and two different life insurance policies:
- Brighthouse SmartCare (indexed universal life insurance with long-term care benefits)
- Term life insurance (Brighthouse SimplySelect and Brighthouse One Year Term)
