From helping Dutch people pay for funeral expenses 150 years ago to providing loans for a renovated tavern in San Francisco; Our history spans the world and dates back to 1844.

Our history

Most of Aegon's Dutch predecessors came from the mid-19th century, when there was a small-scale boom in funeral funds and insurance companies in the Netherlands. Funerals are expensive, let alone unexpected expenses during difficult times. The earliest predecessor of Aegon was Algemene Friesche Begrafenisfonds "Memonto Mori", which was a union of two civil servants, J Oosterhoff and J.s. Spoelstra established a funeral fund in the province of Friesland in the northern Netherlands in 1844. Osterhoff used to be a funeral fund inspector, and Spoelstra used to be a tax inspector.

Over time, through organic growth and mergers and acquisitions, Aegon has grown into a large global insurance company, providing insurance far beyond funeral insurance. But just like in 1844, we take the goal of helping people live the best life seriously.
