Life insurance and critical illness cover

Before you start your application

What you’ll need to do

Just answer a few questions about your health and lifestyle and we’ll give you an instant decision.

It should take around 10 minutes to complete. Please make sure you have this much time to spare, as we can’t save your application.  

Everything you’ll need

  • Information about yours and your family’s health.
  • To know the amount of cover you need and how long you’ll like to have it.
  • Your bank details, so we can set up Direct Debit payments.

What can you get?

Up to £500,000 of cover for life insurance, critical illness cover or both.

These policies are for single, level cover. Here’s what that means:

  • Single cover means the policy covers you only and only pays out if something happens to you.
  • Level cover means the amount that gets paid out in the event of a claim stays the same throughout the policy. The amount you pay stays the same each month.
