Life Insurance
Help provide financial security for the people who depend on you if you die.
What life insurance can provide
Life insurance, sometimes called life assurance, can pay a lump sum or regular income if you die. While money cannot replace a loved one, it may help repay a mortgage, replace income or cover regular household expenditure.
Common types of life insurance
Term insurance
Cover is arranged for an agreed term and pays out if you die during that period. Joint policies generally pay out once, on the first death during the term.
Family income benefit
Instead of a single lump sum, this type of term cover pays a regular income for the remainder of the policy term.
Whole-of-life insurance
This is designed to pay a lump sum whenever you die, provided the policy remains in force and premiums are maintained.
The amount and type of cover should reflect your commitments, dependants, existing benefits and budget.
