A policy to give you peace of mind
Life cover or life insurance is designed to protect you and your loved ones should you die or be diagnosed with a terminal illness.
If something were to happen, a cash lump sum could help your family deal with mortgage payments, bills or other living costs.
Cover will be supplied by one of our carefully-selected providers and our advisors can help you find the right policy for you. We also offer optional Critical Illness Cover for added protection.

What policy options are there?
Level or decreasing cover
With level cover, the amount you're insured for stays the same throughout the policy. It pays a set cash lump sum that could be used to help cover your family's living costs and/or any fixed debt like an interest-only mortgage.
Decreasing cover is usually a little cheaper than level cover, and the amount you're insured for decreases over time. This type of policy is designed to cover decreasing debts, such as a capital repayment mortgage.
Single or joint policy
Single life policies provide cover for one person. It's tailored to the insured person's needs and pays out once when they die.
Joint life policies provide cover for 2 people, for example a married couple. The same cover amount applies to both insured people. It pays out once when either person dies, at which point the policy ends.
Critical Illness Cover add-on
With this add-on, you'd receive a lump sum on diagnosis of one of a list of illnesses (depending on who provides your cover) and surgical procedures including, cancer (excluding less advanced cases), heart attack, stroke and dementia.
A critical illness policy payout can be used to cover bills and living costs if you need time off work for treatment. The proceeds could help you get treated quicker through private medical care.
