Key features and benefits
A market leader in cancer coverage
With two-thirds of our claims being cancer-related, we know that clients are coming to you with concerns about cancer cover. So, we’ve added cover where it’s needed.
Their full pay out, plus a little extra
Our additional payments protect your client's lump sum, as it would still be paid in the event of a valid claim.
Fast underwriting decisions
81% of underwriting decisions receive an instant decision.
Support for young and old, today and tomorrow
With our cover, the benefits begin on day one for the whole family. Not just when serious illness happens.
We’ll beat competitors
In some instances, you may be able to use Price Beater to get the best price for your client. Please see our Price Beater guide for more details.
Waiver of Premium option
For an additional cost, your client won’t have to pay their premium after 26 weeks if the person covered can’t work due to illness or injury.
