What are guaranteed premiums?
With Life Insurance there are two different types of premiums - guaranteed and reviewable. All the policies we provide are guaranteed premiums; this means that the premium that you pay will always stay the same for the term of your policy.
What are the benefits of guaranteed premiums?
Even if you to become seriously ill after your policy had started or your new job was very hazardous, you will not have to tell the insurer and they will not increase the premium.
Reviewable premiums
Reviewable premiums are offered by some insurers, this means that the insurer will review your policy every few years depending on the terms and conditions and you will need to go through Medical Underwriting to make sure that your health or lifestyle hasn't changed since your original application.
The premiums normally increase as you get older and your cover can also decrease over time.
