Is there another name for Great American Life Insurance Company on my 1099-r TurboTax doesn't recognize as banking Institution?

On TurboTax the 1099-r wants the name of the banking Institution it is great American Life Insurance Company and TurboTax wants the name of a bank that's all I've got

You can just use Great American Life Insurance. Enter their name and EIN and then the rest of the 1099-R exactly as it appears.

 

If you can't upload due to TurboTax not having a partnership with a particular bank, then you can just type in the name. First you would click, "Change how I enter my form."
