GBU is thrilled to announce a significant achievement that underscores our commitment to financial security.

On July 11, 2024, AM Best, the oldest credit rating agency, reaffirmed our Financial Strength Rating of A- (Excellent) and upgraded our outlook from stable to positive.

This recognition from AM Best reflects GBU’s dedication to providing the highest level of financial stability and peace of mind for everyone who chooses to trust us with their financial investments.
