Our Life and Critical Illness options are part of the Flexible Protection Plan. They both pay a lump sum if the person insured dies or is diagnosed with a serious illness during the term of the policy. This provides financial, emotional and practical support when the unexpected happens.
We provide a range of options to best fit your client's protection needs:
Our Life and Critical Illness policies pay out a lump sum if your client (or the person insured) dies or is diagnosed with a critical illness. A list of the illnesses covered, the target market, limits, suitability and costs can be found in the product profile:

We know it’s important for you to be able to tailor protection to your clients’ needs. With our Life and Critical Illness plans you have options to build a policy that’s right for your client, including the type of cover, and the type of children’s cover.
We offer a clear and fair approach to paying claims.
We’re proud to have paid 95%* of all protection claims in 2022 – approving 88% of critical illness claims and 97% of all life cover claims**.
