COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 1, 2025 ~ Nationwide, one of the largest providers of insurance and financial services products in the U.S., has recently completed a major acquisition. The company has acquired The Allstate Corporation's employer stop loss segment for a whopping $1.25 billion. This transaction was finalized in accordance with the terms of the agreement that was executed on January 30, 2025.

According to Nationwide CEO Kirt Walker, this acquisition is a significant step for the company. "This expansion of our capabilities, specialized expertise, and strong partnerships in our financial services organization solidifies our position as a leading provider in the employer stop loss industry," he stated. As a company that is dedicated to protecting people, businesses, and futures with exceptional care, this move will help Nationwide meet the needs of business owners both now and in the future.
