About life business

Life assurance can provide a benefit on death or other insured events. Some contracts also include savings or retirement benefits. A life classification alone does not establish which of these products this insurer offers.

Questions to ask about cover

  • Which insured events trigger payment and who receives the benefit?
  • Are premiums and benefits fixed, reviewable or linked to investments?
  • What happens if I miss a premium or end the policy early?

For an existing policy, use the insurer and service contact named on your policy schedule. Have your policy reference and a short description of the enquiry ready.
