Things to think about

  • Terminal illness: Our cover includes Terminal Illness Benefit. If you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness and are not expected to live for more than 12 months, our cover will pay out as long as your plan has at least 18 months to run. If we pay out after a terminal illness claim, your plan will then end. This is different to our Critical Illness cover, which you can read more about.
  • Its important to know that there is no cash value. If you stop paying premiums or live to the end of your plan, your cover will end. In this case, we wouldn’t return any money.

There are three types of life cover

Cover that will help protect your family

Level insurance pays out a fixed amount, so it's the ideal way to help give your family a financial safety net or help cover the amount borrowed with an interest-only mortgage.

Level life insurance

Cover that will help pay off your mortgage

Decreasing insurance helps to protect you if you have a repayment mortgage or loan as what you owe reduces over time, so does the amount of cover. This helps keep costs lower.

Life and critical illness cover

Life and critical Illness cover pays out a lump sum if you either die, or are diagnosed with a critical illness that meets our policy definition and then survive for at least 14 days. We only cover the critical illnesses we describe in our policy and no others.
