Life insurance
If you have a partner or family to consider, choosing to take additional life insurance can help to give you peace of mind that they could receive a significant tax-free lump sum payment should you die. This insurance cover is over and above any life insurance you may be eligible for as part of your reward package.
This might be used by your family to pay off a mortgage or other debts and give them valuable financial support when they need it most. You can also choose to cover your partner as well.

- If you stop the policy at any time there will be no cash-in value.
