What is life insurance?

Life insurance gives your loved ones a lump sum when you pass away, or if you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness.

Consider a life insurance policy if you have children or loved ones who are financially dependent on you.

They can use the money for anything, like paying off your mortgage and funeral costs.

Demystifying Life insurance

with Ellie Simmonds

What does life insurance cover?

Your family. Your finances. Your future. All covered in full.

What you get as standard

  • A lump sum - this will be paid to your loved ones if you pass away while you're covered. This can cover anything from mortgages to medical bills.
  • Tailored cover - our team of friendly experts will help tailor your policy to your needs.
  • And you can boost your cover amount later when life changes - like if you buy a house or have a child.

What you can add to your plan

  • Award-winning extras - like serious illness cover, income protection and later life cover.
  • Real-value savings - get up to 40% off your monthly premiums when you get active.
  • You also enjoy rewards from top brands like Apple Watch, Amazon, Waitrose and Partners and loads more*. They're yours for living healthy.
  • Indexation - this means your cover amount goes up in line with inflation. So it's worth the same in the future, as it is today.

How much does life insurance cost?

How much cover you get and what you pay depends on things like:

  • How much is left to pay on your mortgage
  • Other expenses you want to cover like school fees or credit cards
  • Your health and lifestyle - previous conditions or smoking, for example

Our prices start from £5 a month. And our expert team can help you build a plan that's affordable for you.
