Top tip: Your financial adviser can help you decide which product is best suited to you.

Keep your cover!

Life insurance helps you and your family financially when you most need it – either to replace the income of a breadwinner who passes away, or to pay off a debt such as a home loan that the life assured was responsible for. Your family can also use your payout to start building generational wealth by saving and investing for their future – and their children’s.

1Life has different kinds of cover to make sure we can meet all your needs. Whichever cover you choose, remember to pay the premiums on time. And take advantage of the benefits your policy has!
