What is life/term insurance?

Life insurance helps you provide financial security for your loved ones if you die or become terminally ill during the course of the plan.

  • Choose how long you want the plan to last.

  • Choose the amount of life cover you need for your individual circumstances.

  • We'll calculate your monthly premium for you, which will remain the same for the duration of the plan.

Who needs it?

If you have a family or partner who are financially dependent on you, or if you have a mortgage then life insurance could be for you.

What if you've already got life insurance from another provider?

If you already have life cover, you might be able to save money by switching to a different provider.

Why take out a plan?

Life insurance offers guaranteed protection for those you leave behind if you die during the plan term. And that means peace of mind for you.

Everyday costs like food, heating and petrol mount up. You may want to make sure there's money available to pay for your children's education, family holidays or any outstanding loans (including a mortgage). Life insurance could address all these needs.

What else you should know?

  • Life insurance is also known as Term Assurance.

  • Life insurance can be level, increasing or decreasing (depending on the requirements) term life insurance plan. See our comparison section for more information on the different plans available.

  • The plan has no cash-in value at any time.

What happens if you become terminally ill?

The cash sum will be paid out if you are diagnosed as suffering from a terminal illness and you aren’t likely to live more than 12 months. This only applies before the last 18 months of the plan term. If we do pay out after a claim for terminal illness, your plan will end.

Will you be covered for critical illness?

For an additional cost you can opt for extra cover in case you become critically ill. The plan will pay out a lump sum on diagnosis of a specified critical illness during the plan term.

What is Critical Illness Cover?

This means if you are diagnosed as having a specified critical illness during the plan term, you'll receive the lump sum you agreed at the start of the plan. This could help you and your loved ones during a potentially financially difficult time. The lump sum could be used to help pay for hospital care, alterations to the family home, or even a family holiday to aid your recovery.
