Securian is a leading provider of products and services in the financial institution market. The acquired companies' products include mortgage accidental death insurance, accidental death and dismemberment coverage and individual term life insurance, all of which Securian offers.

"This acquisition increases the scale of our financial institution business and further demonstrates our commitment to this marketplace," said Christopher Hilger, executive vice president, Securian Financial Group. "As providers exit the market, we view this as an opportunity to increase our presence."

Securian will integrate the Balboa Life businesses into its St. Paul headquarters operations in 2012.
