Annuities are backed by the credit of the issuing organization. Insurance companies are leading providers of annuities. They are responsible to the state commissioner in the state in which they are organized and the commissioner in the state where they are admitted. These commissioners work to assure the viability of the companies and protect the policyholders.

The promise of payment is backed by the assets of the insurance company issuing the annuity. Your state insurance commissioner monitors the ability of the company to keep its promises and in many states there are plans in place to make sure that insurance companies will not fail and that promises will be kept.
