DLA grew in size over the years with the merger of some 20 or so insurance companies and portfolios. In 1999, with the introduction of the Act respecting the distribution of financial products and services in Quebec, Desjardins caisses were able to start selling the company's full line of life and health insurance products. Desjardins-Laurentian Life Assurance (DLLA) then set up a team of financial security advisors dedicated to caisse members.
Other mergers followed in 2000, first with the Laurentian Life and Health Insurance Corporation, then Imperial Life, which led to the creation of DFS in 2002. The new company, which oversees the financial security of some 5 million Canadians, is now a major player in the Canadian life and health insurance industry.

Traditional insurers want to offer shelf products that can be sold in significant volumes, with large potential markets. The result is that many consumers and businesses that have significant insurance needs, and the ability to pay, cannot obtain insurance in the regular market because they do not fit the risk parameters for which traditional products are designed and priced.
We also offer high-risk work or residency abroad insurance plans, coverage for war and terrorism, sports, custom quotes and coverage for pre-existing medical conditions.
