Types of life insurance we offer
We all have different stories, and our life insurance reflects the fact that no two journeys are the same. Which cover is right for you?
Life insurance
A ‘level term life insurance’ policy where the amount of cover remains the same, regardless of when a claim is made during the policy’s lifespan.
Decreasing life insurance
Sometimes referred to as ‘mortgage life insurance’, Decreasing Life Insurance is where the amount of cover reduces over time, roughly in line with how a repayment mortgage reduces.
Critical illness cover
Critical Illness Cover can help you and your family to make ends meet if you suffer a critical illness that we cover – from childcare fees to paying the bills.
