What is life cover?

Funeral insurance covers immediate expenses, like the cost of a respectable send-off, and gives your family support during a difficult time. Life cover, however, will take care of your loved ones after the funeral. It not only provides for your family when you pass, it is also your tool to break the cycle and turn generational debt into generational wealth.

Your life cover insurance policy pay-out can take care of your family’s living expenses, pay off your debt and give your children the best possible education. It is everything you ever wanted for those that mean the most to you, in 1 affordable policy.

Excellence at 1 Life. Had an excellent encounter with Bafana from customer service, helped me flawlessly with regards to reinstating all my policies and new debit order instructions.

The consultant, Patricia, gave me excellent customer service. She even called me back after I ran out of airtime 📲

Always professional and has your best interest at heart. I considered cancelling one of my policies and I was assured that it would not be necessary as the missed debit order can be paid at a later stage 📅
