Protection options

Three ways to protect
the life you have built.

Protect your family, your mortgage or your income with cover built for different financial risks. A protection adviser will help you choose cover that fits your needs and budget.

Understand the difference

Choose what you want the policy to cover.

Life insurance, critical illness cover and income protection work separately or together. A regulated protection adviser will assess your needs and explain what fits your budget.

01

Life insurance

Designed to provide financial support for the people you leave behind.

  • Helps protect a mortgage or rent commitment
  • Supports childcare and household costs
  • Usually pays a lump sum after a valid claim
Check how long the cover lasts, how much it pays and what it does not cover.
02

Critical illness cover

Designed to provide money to help with bills and other costs if you are diagnosed with a serious illness covered by the policy.

  • Helps reduce debts and ongoing costs
  • The illnesses covered and how serious they must be vary by policy
  • Usually pays a lump sum after a valid claim
Check which illnesses are covered, what is not covered and how long you must survive after diagnosis before the policy pays.
03

Income protection

Designed to replace part of your earnings if illness or injury prevents you working.

  • Can help with regular household bills
  • Benefits usually start after a waiting period
  • The rules for making a claim and how long payments continue vary by policy
Your job, income, waiting time before payments begin and the policy rules all matter.
