Life Insurance explained
Your life insurance questions answered.
What is life insurance?
Life insurance is a type of insurance that pays money to your family if you die or become terminally ill while covered by the policy. Your family or dependants can use the money to help them manage their financial future.
It can be also called Life Cover or Term Assurance or Life Assurance.
How does life insurance work?
When you buy a life insurance policy, you agree to pay a monthly amount (called a premium) and if you die or are diagnosed with a terminal illness, we pay a sum of money to your family.
How much the policy pays out and the monthly premiums you'll have to pay depend on your personal circumstances, and the type of policy and level of cover you choose.
Are there other names for life insurance?
Yes, Life Insurance can be also called Life Cover or Term Assurance or Life Assurance.
Do I need life insurance?
Whether you need life insurance depends on your personal circumstances, your lifestyle and your priorities. If you have a family or people financially dependent on you, life insurance is a way to offer them some financial security after you're gone.
A payout from a life insurance policy could go towards paying off a mortgage, covering monthly bills, childcare, education or any number of other financial commitments your family might face in the future
How much life insurance do I need?
How much cover you need depends entirely on what you want to protect, for how long and for how much. In general, the more cover you need and the longer you need that cover for, the more money you can expect to pay as a premium each month.
