Life insurance helps to provide a financial benefit to your family if you die whilst the policy is valid. You can set the length of the policy during your application. If you pass away before the policy has ended, your family will be able to make a claim.
There a two types of life insurance that you can buy through us, Level Term and Decreasing Term (this can also be known as Mortgage Term). We’ve outlined the differences below to make your decisions easier.
With a Level Term Policy the cover amount is fixed for the length of the policy term. This means that if you pass away whilst the policy is valid, your family can claim for a set amount of money.
A Decreasing Term Policy means that the amount you are covered for reduces over time. This will mean your family will be able to claim the current value of the policy.
Your monthly payment won’t reduce on this type of policy.
We also provide both a Single Policy and a Joint Policy; this means that you can buy a policy for both you and your partner or just for you.
A Single Life Policy is life insurance for one person, which means that you’d be covered for the length of the policy.
A Joint Life Policy is life insurance for two people, but this policy will only pay out once. This will be when the first person dies, meaning the other person will receive the pay-out.
We also give you the option (subject to eligibility) to include Critical Illness Cover as an add-on to your life insurance policy. If you’re diagnosed with one of the Critical Illnesses covered under the policy, you’re able to claim for a pay-out (payable only once) that won’t impact your life insurance. Child Critical Illness Cover is also available and it covers any children whether you have them or are planning to have them in the future.
We offer our customers a free Will (worth £150**) when a valid life insurance policy is bought. This is written by a selected partner and allows you to be sure that your estate is given to the beneficiaries that you choose.
Having a Will means that you can be sure that your wishes will be taken into account in the future, as it’s a legal document. Our Will is usually worth £150, which means that if you buy Budget Life Insurance, you could be saving money on creating a Will.
