Insurance Policies for You and Your Family
A policy which is tailored to your individual needs and is underwritten based on your health and family history.
Types of Cover
Life
Pays out a sum assured upon death or diagnosis of a terminal illness with 12 months to live, the plan usually matches your current mortgage and term to ensure there are no shortfalls upon claim of the policies. It is designed to protect you and your family from the financial burden of death.
How does Life Cover work.
If you die while you’re covered, Life assurance pays a lump sum to whoever is entitled to receive the benefit. It will also pay a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness, and your life expectancy is no more than 12 months. However, it only does this if you have more than a year left before the date of expiry of your Life assurance. If you have a joint life first death plan, your Life Cover stops after we pay a claim for the death of one of the people covered. If you have a joint life second death plan, we will pay a claim for life cover after both people covered have died.

Serious Illness
Pays out a sum assured upon diagnosis of a serious illness which is listed in either the Primary Plan -100 illnesses or the Comprehensive 174 illnesses. The plan is unique in the way it can pay out a percentage of the sum assured based on the severity of the condition diagnosed. Our award-winning Serious Illness Cover helps protect you from the financial impact that a serious illness can have on your life. You can choose between our Primary Serious Illness Cover – which covers 102 conditions – and our Comprehensive Serious Illness Cover, which covers 166 conditions. If you’re diagnosed with one of the conditions we cover, we pay you a cash lump sum. The amount we pay you is based on the severity of your condition.
How does Serious Illness Cover Work
For most conditions, a typical critical illness policy would give you a payout for your full cover amount, or nothing at all. This can leave you with nothing to help you cope with an illness that’s having an impact on your life. We pay out differently. We give you a percentage of your cover amount depending on how severe your condition is. This means we’re able to pay out on a wider range of illnesses – not just the debilitating or life-threatening ones covered by typical critical illness policies. If you make a claim for a condition that pays out part of your cover amount, we keep covering you for the remaining amount. So if your condition gets worse, or you’re diagnosed with a more severe condition, you can claim again. You can do this until you’ve used up your whole cover amount.
