I mail my policy payments to the MetLife company providing my coverage, and I'm concerned about the time it can sometimes take for MetLife to receive them. Is there any other way I can make my payments?

Check with your financial institution to find out whether it can arrange an electronic payment, so that it can send the payment automatically to your MetLife company.
For other options available or changing your frequency of payment that includes a way that may enable you to make the payment electronically, contact our call center at 1-800-638-5000.

What is Brighthouse Financial?

MetLife separated a portion of our life insurance and annuity business, (products sold in-person through an agent), establishing a company called Brighthouse Financial, Inc.

If you have a policy that was issued by one of these companies, your life insurance policy has been transitioned to Brighthouse Financial:

First MetLife Investors Insurance Company (now named Brighthouse Life Insurance Company of NY)
MetLife Insurance Company USA (now named Brighthouse Life Insurance Company)
New England Life Insurance Company
Owners of inforce individual life insurance policies that moved to Brighthouse Financial were sent an endorsement changing the name of the issuing company for their policies.

If you have a policy that was issued by one of these companies, your life insurance policy remained with MetLife:

Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
Metropolitan Tower Life Insurance Company
