John Hancock

John Hancock was the Revolutionary War leader and first signer of the U.S. Declaration of Independence—remember his large and distinct signature? Patriot and leader, John Hancock served as the inspiration for the four people who started the company in one room in 1862. John Hancock’s name has long stood for integrity and commitment. Today, as a well-established financial services leader, we are recognized for the same vision and fortitude that defined our nation’s forefather and is at the core of the John Hancock legacy.
