Life Insurance
Life cover and critical illness cover. Plan for the future, live for today.

 

What is life insurance?

Life insurance can give you protection and peace of mind, in case the unexpected happens. If you were to die or fall seriously ill, your life insurance can pay out a cash lump sum which could help you or your loved ones to cope financially.

To be eligible for Life insurance you need to be a UK resident, 18 or over, and under 60.

What’s the right time to get life insurance?

The big changes in life can give you a good chance to think about how you can protect yourself and your loved ones from the unexpected.

Changing jobs

If your income changes, you might want to think how this could affect the cover you and your loved ones would need.

Having children

When you have a child, getting cover could make sure that they'll be protected if anything happens to you.

Getting a mortgage

If something happens to you, your cover could pay out a cash lump sum to help your loved ones pay off the mortgage.

Getting married

This can be a good time to think about how cover could help to protect your partner in case of the unexpected.

Planning your funeral

We don't like to think about it, but funerals can be expensive. Your cover could help your loved ones with these costs.

Being a carer

There might be others who rely on you or your income. Your cover could protect them too.
