What is term life insurance?
Term life insurance is life insurance that pays out a one-off lump sum if you become ill or die during the policy’s term. You or your family can use the payout for anything like paying off the mortgage, and other debts.
There’s three types of term life insurance: decreasing, level and increasing. Which type of cover is best for you depends on your individual needs.
