A Term life insurance plan is the most basic form of life insurance and is usually the cheapest way to insure your life. It covers you for a fixed period and pays out a lump sum if you die during the policy term.

With term insurance policies you can add additional options, for instance critical illness cover. If you do add on critical illness cover, the plan will pay out once on diagnosis of a qualifying critical illness or if you die during the term of the policy.
Term assurance protects your family from the financial implications of a personal tragedy and is particularly important if you have young children or dependents. It can be used to cover a mortgage or ensure your family is protected from having to repay debts after the main breadwinner has passed away.
