Start my free quoteWhat is life insurance?
Life insurance is an insurance policy that can pay out a lump sum if you die. You pay a monthly premium to be covered and the lump sum can be paid out if you die during your policy term – or, in some cases, if you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness and given less than a year to live.
Why is life insurance important?

What our life insurance covers
What’s Covered?
Your loved ones will receive a tax-free, lump sum payment if you die within the policy term. That money can be used to help pay off a mortgage, cover your bills, or simply providing your family with breathing space while they grieve your loss.
What’s not Covered?
Life Insurance isn’t like a savings account, which means there’s no cash value, and you can’t cash in your policy for a payout. You also won’t be covered if your death is a result of suicide or intentional injury within the first 12 months of your policy term.
What Life Insurance Do I Need?
-
Your coverage amount and monthly premium stay exactly the same from day one until your policy ends.
-
Your coverage gradually reduces over time, often used to match a declining mortgage balance or other debt.
-
Your coverage amount can increase with inflation, over the term you have chosen to take your life insurance out for.

Who are you looking to get protected?
Single Policy vs Joint Policy
Single life insurance policy
Covers a single person, both partners can take out their own single life insurance policy. This means if one partner dies, the remaining partner is covered by their own life insurance policy.
Joint life insurance policy
Covers two people on the same policy but only pays out once. If you or your partner die whilst the policy in place, the surviving partner will receive the payout, however they will no longer be covered by the insurance. For these reasons, we do not offer joint policies as we want all policy holders to benefit from a policy payout to their loved ones.
