What is Life Insurance, and how does it work?

Life insurance is a vital form of protection that provides financial security to your loved ones in the event of your death. By taking out a life insurance policy, you can ensure that your family or dependents are safeguarded from the financial burdens that may arise after your passing.

The policy pays out a lump sum or regular payments, known as the death benefit, to your chosen beneficiaries. This financial support can help cover various expenses, including outstanding mortgage payments, everyday living costs, education expenses, and other financial obligations.

Life insurance provides peace of mind, knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of even when you're no longer there to provide for them.

Why do I need Life Insurance when I have death in service through work?

While having death in service benefit through your work is indeed beneficial, it's important to understand the limitations it may have. Death in service typically provides a lump sum payment to your beneficiaries if you pass away while employed by your current company.

However, it's crucial to consider what would happen if you were to change jobs or experience a career transition. In such cases, your death-in-service benefit may no longer be applicable, leaving your loved ones without financial protection.

Additionally, the payout from death in service is usually limited to a multiple of your salary, which may not be sufficient to cover your family's long-term needs, such as mortgage repayments and living expenses.  

By obtaining a separate life insurance policy, you can provide a more comprehensive and flexible safety net for your loved ones, ensuring they are financially secure regardless of your employment situation.

Life insurance offers a customizable death benefit and can be tailored to your specific circumstances, providing an additional layer of protection and peace of mind.
