With many term life plan options, you can select the plan that meets your unique needs. We offer three different types of term life plans: Renewable Term, Non-Renewable Term and Term 100.
Term life is a type of life insurance that pays out a lump sum death benefit if the insured passes away during the term that the policy covers. The lump sum payment may help loved ones (beneficiaries) pay for funeral costs, day-to-day expenses, and mortgage balance, childcare or children’s education. Our term life plans are available in 10, 15, 20, 25 and 100-year terms depending on your needs and age at the time of application. For applicants aged 18-45 years, you could be eligible for up to $1,000,000 in life insurance coverage.
Our Non-Renewable Term Life insurance plans provide you with coverage for the duration of the term you select. Once that term ends, your coverage ends as well. If you would like to continue with term life insurance, you would need to apply for a new policy at that time.
Renewable Term Life insurance plans automatically renew at the end of the initial term and do not require a health questionnaire or medical evidence at the time of renewal. Important to note: Rates will increase at the time of renewal based on the age attained by the insured. Another difference between a renewable and a non-renewable plan is that the premiums are typically lower for a non-renewable plan. You may be eligible for instant approval of our renewable and non-renewable plans at the time of your initial term application.
For our Non-Renewable Term 100 life plan, your policy is in effect until you reach the age of 100. You can have your policy in place without any worry, knowing your loved ones will be covered. Premiums are typically much higher for the Term 100 plan.
Term life insurance is life insurance that lasts for a specific period of time known as a Term. The term can be a fixed number of years or until you reach a certain age (e.g. age 70 for our T10-25 and age 100 for our T100). You pay premiums until the expiry of the term.
In return, your beneficiaries are entitled to receive a tax-free death benefit if you die within the term of the policy. Once the term ends, your coverage also expires, and you stop paying premiums.
Our term life policies are offered for periods ranging from 10, 15, 20, 25 and 100 years, after which the coverage expires. Simply put, term life insurance is easier to understand and has lower rates.
Whole Life Insurance is a form of permanent life insurance that provides you with coverage from the day the policy is active until the day you die; in other words, for your entire life.
Additionally, this type of life insurance also combines insurance coverage with investing. There is a cash value component associated with most whole life coverage. As you pay into a whole life policy over time, part of the monthly premium is invested, generating cash value.
This cash value may be accessed during the policyholder’s lifetime either by withdrawing or borrowing against it. Since the coverage extends to one’s entire lifetime and you retain the value you put into it, whole life insurance typically has significantly higher premiums.
