The unincorporated predecessor organization American-European Insurance Services – AEIS - was founded with the business registration of Jan Hudson as an insurance broker in Kitzingen, Germany on May 5, 1965. Initial activities were only in Germany until 1973 when AEIS became the General Agent for Europe, Middle East and North Africa for Boston Mutual Life Insurance Company.

In 1978, until his early retirement in 2001, Jan Hudson and AEIS was the General Agent for Europe for The Prudential Insurance Company of America, operating throughout Europe and the United States. The distribution network expanded through sub-distributors scattered around Europe, but administered from an AEIS office in Schwetzingen, Germany, a suburb of Heidelberg.

American-European Insurance Services relocated from Germany to Luxembourg on January 2, 1999 and in August 2002 incorporated as American-European Insurance Brokerage, a Luxembourg corporation. Subsequently corporate licenses were obtained from the insurance commissioners of the various US states so that in addition to Europe, brokerage could also be arranged in the United States.

After January 15, 2005, American-European Insurance Brokerage took advantage of the new European Insurance Mediation Directive in order to passport into all 27 EU member countries on a freedom of services basis. In March 2006 AEIB became the first non-Swiss insurance broker to be authorized by the Swiss Federal Office of Private Insurance to broker life insurance in Switzerland. Thus, AEIB now covers both the US and all of Europe, dealing with individuals and their advisors for brokering life coverage from $1,000,000 to $50,000,000 death benefit. American-European Insurance Brokerage now has over $3,000,000,000 of life insurance in force in Europe, with additional coverage in force in the United States.
