Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company

Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company is a Fortune 100 insurance and financial services company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 1926 as a small mutual auto insurer serving Ohio farmers, it now reports annual sales of nearly $70 billion and employs thousands of people across United States and global operations. The company has been in operation for nearly a century.

The company's business spans insurance and investment products, including auto, home, life and pet insurance, as well as retirement planning, annuities and mutual funds. It serves both individuals and businesses. This breadth of regulated product lines - personal and commercial insurance alongside securities and retirement products - places the company within the jurisdiction of state insurance regulators, federal securities regulation and retirement plan rules.

Nationwide describes itself as customer-centric, placing customers and partners at the centre of its work and valuing people as a core principle. Its stated promise is to be "on your side", which the company frames as a genuine commitment rather than a marketing slogan, and its mission is helping people protect what matters most to them. The company states that it has maintained its founding values as it has grown to its current scale.
