What is Life Insurance ?
Life cover can be a valuable asset to have if you have a mortgage or just want to provide a lump sum for your family to cover the costs of living should the worst happen. This acts as a financial safety net for when you may need it the most.
Types of Life Insurance
Level Term Cover
Covers you for a specific amount over a specific term based on your needs and circumstances. Cover value and premiums stay the same throughout the plan unless you decide to apply indexation to the cover.
Decreasing Term Cover
Covers you for a specific amount and term based on your current repayment mortgage and remaining term. The cover amount will decrease monthly based upon your remaining mortgage.

Things to Consider
-
Life cover will only pay out on the diagnosis of a terminal illness or on your death within the term to your beneficiaries.
-
This will not pay out on a critical illness such as a heart attack, stroke or cancer, or the loss of income due to an illness or injury.
-
​Unique to other types of insurance in the market, Life Insurance can be taken out for the rest of your life depending on your budget and requirements. This is known as Whole of Life Cover.
