MetLife, Inc. is the holding organization for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (MLIC), otherwise called MetLife, and its subsidiaries. MetLife is among the biggest worldwide suppliers of protection, annuities, and worker advantage programs, with 90 million clients in more than 60 nations. The firm was established on March 24, 1868. On January 6, 1915, MetLife finished the mutualization process, transforming from a stock disaster protection organization possessed by people to a common organization working without outside shareholders and for the advantage of policyholders.

On the off chance that executed, MetLife would subject to distinctive arrangements of tenets and regulations, with expanded oversight from the Federal Reserve. The organization claimed this proposition in November 2014. In December 2014, government controllers chose that MetLife required the extraordinary regulations saved for budgetary organizations and associations esteemed "systemically vital," or "too huge to come up short". MetLife declared in January 2015 that it would document a claim against the District of Columbia to topple the government controllers' choice, in this manner turning into the first nonbank to test such a choice. Three other nonbank organizations have been assigned as "systemically essential": AIG, General Electric and Prudential. MetLife kept on contesting this issue as of mid-2015, with the US Department of Justice asking that their test be rejected.
