Some things to think about

  • Please consider the benefit amount you choose, as inflation may reduce its buying power over time. However, you can choose to include the Increasing Benefit Option, which can help protect your policy from some of the effects of inflation
  • If you stop your monthly payments, you will get nothing back – of course, if you keep up with your payments, then your cover will be paid in full
  • Depending on how long you live, you may pay more for your cover than the final benefit amount. Our cover isn’t intended to be a savings or investment product – it’s there to provide protection if the worst should happen, and you need to consider the value of your cover if you died unexpectedly
