Extra protection for you and your family.

You can add critical illness cover to our life insurance or mortgage life insurance policies for an additional cost.

Critical illness cover is designed to pay out a fixed cash amount if you're diagnosed with one of the illnesses covered by our policy, within your chosen period of cover.

Premiums can start from as little as £6 per month.

Your individual premium will depend on your needs and circumstances. Please note, this policy has no cash-in value.

Before buying critical illness cover you should ensure that you've read the Key Features Document.
