Co-operators Life Insurance Co. has teamed up with a B.C. credit union to buy insurer Cumis Group Ltd. for $232 million.


The deal between Regina-based Co-operators and Vancouver-based Central 1 "will result in a strong, Canadian-owned supplier of insurance products and services to Canadian credit unions and their members," the companies said in a news release.


They also make money so I do not know how they can claim to need to cancel clients, raise rates or use credit scores to deny clients?
