Term life insurance built for you
What is term life insurance?
While we can’t predict the future, we can plan for it. That’s where life insurance comes in. Term life insurance is a simple way to make sure your loved ones are protected financially if something were to happen to you.
Term life insurance offers level premiums for a specific period of time, usually 10 to 30 years. If you're just starting out, growing your family or planning your future, term life insurance can be a smart and cost-effective way to ensure financial security.
Who is term life insurance best for?
Term life insurance is ideal for people looking for clear, straightforward coverage without the higher cost of whole life insurance. It’s designed to be flexible, affordable and tailored to your current stage of life.
When you have children or dependents, term life can provide the financial security your loved ones would need in your absence.
Many people choose a premium period that aligns with the length of their mortgage to ensure the home can be paid off if they’re no longer around.
Term life policies tend to have lower premiums than whole life policies, making them easier to fit into a monthly budget.
During the years when your income is at its highest, a term life insurance policy can help replace that income if something happens.
What are the features of a term life policy?
Length and coverage
You decide how much coverage you want based on your needs – like replacing income, paying off debts or funding future education costs – as well as how long you want the protection to last.
10-, 15-, 20-, 25- or 30-year terms: Choose the term that makes the most sense for your life. For example, if your child is 8, a 15-year policy could provide protection until they’re independent. Or, if you’ve just taken out a 30-year mortgage, a 30-year policy could help make sure the home stays in the family if something were to happen to you.
Predictable monthly costs: Because your premium stays the same for the length of your term, your premium won’t go up with age or health changes during the term.
More affordable than whole life: Because it covers you for a set period at a fixed rate, term life is usually more affordable than whole life, which lasts your entire life and keeps the same premium throughout the premium paying period.
