The Life Insurance Promis

What is the Life Insurance Promis?

We call it the Life Insurance Promis because our life Insurance is designed to be your ‘Promis’ to yourself and your loved ones that should the worst happen you have done what you can to help look after them even when you are not there.

If you have loved ones that are financially dependent on you the Life Insurance Promis can help to take care of them should you pass away or are diagnosed with a terminal illness during the ‘term’ period.¹ Our aim is to give you peace of mind knowing that your children, wife, husband or partner will receive the cover amount you have chosen as cash direct to their bank account – up to £500,000 (depending on your age).

• Life insurance where you set the cover amount and the ‘term’ period
• You will also be covered for terminal illness¹
• 30 day money back guarantee

How does The Life Insurance Promis work?

At Promis Life we try to make things easy as we know insurance can seem complicated. With the Life Insurance Promis from Promis Life, depending on your age you set a period of time from 5 to 40 years that you would like to be covered for, but your policy must end before your 81^st birthday. This is known as the ‘term’ of your policy.

The next thing to decide is how much you would like as your cover amount. This is the amount that will be paid out, in one lump sum, should you pass away or be diagnosed with a terminal illness before the end of your term period. The maximum amount you can get as cover depends on your age but could be up to £500,000. We will also ask a few health, lifestyle and family medical history questions to determine the cost of premiums.

How long do I need cover for and for how much?

We can’t advise you what is the appropriate length of cover for you or the amount of cover you should seek. People take out this type of insurance for many reasons, such as to cover the length of a mortgage term so they know there will be money available to help reduce the risk of them losing the family home. Or, they may consider their children and base the term period on how long they will be dependent financially on their parents.

Our friendly team, who are based in the UK, can quote for different combinations of term period and cover amount to help you make a decision on what is best for you and your loved ones. It won’t take long, just a few questions. Give us a call today on 0800 061 2174.

There are two other things to think about:

1. Single or Joint cover:

Are you covering just yourself or yourself and somebody else, such as a partner? For a single life policy it will just be yourself that is covered. A joint life policy will pay out, just once, should either of you pass away or develop a terminal illness.

2. The type of cover you would like:

The Life Insurance Promis offers two types of cover; Level or Decreasing. Level cover means your cover amount and premium you pay is guaranteed not to change for the term of the policy, unless of course you make changes to the plan at a later date. Decreasing cover means that the cover amount reduces each year in line with a mortgage repayment calculation based on an 8% interest rate. This is because your debt should be decreasing as you repay it over time. The premiums you pay are guaranteed not to change unless you make changes to your plan. This type of cover is designed for example, for those that have a mortgage or loan that is expected to decrease over time. The decreasing cover amount for a mortgage or loan may not be enough to pay off all of the outstanding mortgage or loan. We recommend you keep the cover amount under review to ensure it still meets your requirements. 

We cannot guarantee the cover amount you choose will cover all outstanding loans or costs that may still be left should the worst happen during the term period

Important information you should read

• Eligibility will depend on circumstances relating to your health, lifestyle and family medical history
• It’s important you provide honest information at the time you make your application. When you buy a policy it is your responsibility to check your welcome pack and ensure the answer to each health and lifestyle question is complete and correct
• The Life Insurance Promis pays out a cash lump sum to you if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness¹ or a loved one if you die before the plan ends. It is not a savings plan. Premiums are payable for the full term you choose, whilst any terminal illness claim for you or a joint policy holder is being assessed, or until you or a joint policy holder dies, or your plan is cancelled
• You are not covered for suicide in the first year of any new policy or in the first year of any increase to a policy
• In the future, your cover amount may not be enough as inflation will reduce its value. As a result, you may need to review and update the cover amount to ensure it continues to meet your needs
• If you choose a Decreasing cover type for a mortgage or loan the cover amount may not be enough to pay off all the outstanding mortgage or loan
• You can apply if you are permanently living in the UK (not including the Isle of Man or Channel Islands) and aged 18-70
