Term life insurance

What is term life insurance?

Term life insurance is affordable, easy-to-understand coverage that gives you flexible protection.

Your insurance costs will remain the same for a specific period of time (the "term"), until it renews for another term. If you die while the policy is in effect, a tax-free payment will go to the person or people you name (your "beneficiaries"). And with most term policies, you can also convert your coverage to permanent insurance regardless of any changes to your health, occupation or lifestyle.
