    Life cover

    Covers the people who depend on you. Product details, insurer, pricing and eligibility will be disclosed when cover opens.

    Who it's for

    Anyone with dependants (a spouse, children, ageing parents) who would face a financial gap if the policyholder passed away. Suitability depends on individual circumstances and the actual product terms.

    How it fits your estate

    Once available, beneficiary nominations and policy numbers will live in your vault next to your will and executor pack.

    Why it matters

    • Life cover can help replace income, settle a bond, or fund school fees so loved ones do not have to restructure their lives.
    • Pay-outs on a life policy depend on the policy structure, beneficiary nomination and product wording. Tax and estate treatment should be confirmed with a qualified adviser.
    • It can complement your will: the will decides what happens to your estate, while a life policy may provide cash that estates sometimes lack.

    Comparable in purpose to traditional risk policies from major South African life insurers. The specific insurer, premium, terms and eligibility criteria will be disclosed before any application or purchase.

    Join the founding cohort

    By submitting you confirm we may email you a single launch announcement for this product. This is not a quotation, contract of insurance, or guarantee that cover will be offered to you.

    Any product shown as "coming soon" is not yet available for purchase. Information about future products is provided for planning and interest-capture purposes only and does not constitute a quote, offer, underwriting approval or guarantee of availability.

    Funeral cover, life cover, liquidity or shortfall cover, and any estate-related cover will always depend on the actual product structure, insurer, underwriting, terms, exclusions, limits and claims requirements. Medical expenses before death, hospital costs, palliative care, frail care and other end-of-life expenses should be treated as not covered unless a specific product expressly says otherwise.

    Any calculator on this service is a planning tool only. It is not legal advice, tax advice, financial advice, a quotation, underwriting approval, or confirmation that any insurer will offer cover on the terms shown.
