History

In October 1904, A.P. Giannini founded the Bank of Italy in San Francisco, which later became known as Bank of America. In 1928, Giannini put the banks into a holding company he named the Transamerica Corporation. In 1930, the company acquired Occidental Life Insurance Company, which had been founded in 1906, and renamed it Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company. Gradually, the company became a more diversified conglomerate which included the film studio United Artists, Transamerica Airlines, and Budget Rent A Car.

In 1972, construction of the Transamerica Pyramid skyscraper in San Francisco was completed, which served as the company's headquarters for many years. Although the company currently retains only a small presence in the building, the building is still depicted in the company's logo and marketing materials.

In the 1980s, Transamerica began to divest and focused exclusively on financial services. It was eventually pared down to three main product divisions: insurance, investments, and retirement. In July 1999, with Frank C. Herringer as CEO, Transamerica Corporation was acquired by Aegon, an insurance company based in the Netherlands. Transamerica Occidental was merged into Transamerica Life Insurance Company October 1, 2008.
