How our voucher reward works (insurance): When you take out Term Life Insurance, Critical Illness Cover or Income Protection through Blue Light Money you are eligible for our "insurance voucher reward" offer. The amount of your voucher is calculated by the size of your first monthly insurance policy premium, rounded up to the nearest £5. For example, if your total policy premium (for all policies you have placed into force) was £46.50 per month, you would get a voucher reward worth £50.00. The voucher reward is payable only when your policy/policies are active and is issued 3 calendar months after the latest policy start date. The voucher is issued by email, using the same email address you used when you applied for cover with us. The maximum "insurance voucher reward" per postcode is £150.00. If you allow any of your policies to lapse, or if any of your policies are in arrears prior to the intended voucher issuance date, then the voucher will be withheld until all policies are live and all payments are brought up to date. If for any other reason the insurer removes your policy/policies from active status or your policy/policies are in review, or further information is being assessed by underwriters before the intended voucher issuance date, the voucher will be withheld until all policies are “live” and premiums are paid and up to date again. This offer does not apply to Private Medical Insurance, Whole of Life Insurance, Business Protection, or Guaranteed Acceptance Insurance.
How our voucher reward works (mortgages): When you arrange a Mortgage, or a Remortgage through Blue Light Money you are eligible for our "mortgage voucher reward" offer. The amount of your voucher is £25.00. The voucher reward is issued only on successful completion of your mortgage, and is issued 3 calendar months after the date of completion. The maximum "mortgage voucher reward" per postcode is £25.00. This offer does not apply to Product Transfer Mortgages. We have a separate voucher reward offer for Term Life Insurance, Critical Illness Cover or Income Protection which is detailed above.
What is Life Insurance for?
Life Insurance is designed to pay a lump sum (or sometimes an income) in the event of your death. It's usually used to provide financial support to your loved ones, or to pay off a large debt such as a mortgage. When you take out Life Insurance, you cover yourself for a set amount (e.g. £100,000) over a set period of time (e.g. 25 years).
What's the difference between level and decreasing cover?
If you choose a level policy, the amount you are covered for will stay the same over the life of the policy. If you choose a decreasing policy, the amount you are covered for will decrease over the life of the policy. Decreasing policies are usually designed to cover a mortgage that you are gradually paying off. Premiums for decreasing policies are cheaper than they are for level policies.
Are Life Insurance premiums fixed?
In most cases yes, but you do need to be careful here. We will always recommend that you use "guaranteed" premiums. This means they are fixed, and do not increase over time. However some insurers also offer "reviewable" premiums which do tend to increase as you get older.
Does the money pay as a lump sum, or an income?
This depends on the type of policy you choose. Most Life Insurance policies are designed to pay out as a one-off lump. However you can also take out "Family Income Benefit" life insurance, which is designed to pay your family an ongoing income instead. Our team can help you decide what it right for you.
Will my insurer try to wriggle out of a claim?
It is a common misconception that insurers do their best to avoid paying claims. In fact, insurers have to publish their claims statistics each year and the vast majority can prove they pay well over 95% of their life insurance claims.
Can I get life insurance through my employer?
Some employers do offer a form of life insurance called "death in service". Whilst this is a brilliant benefit (if you are lucky enough to be offered it) you shouldn't necessarily rely on it entirely. Remember that if you leave your current employer, you'll leave your life insurance behind too, and life insurance gets more difficult and expensive to take out the older you get. Our recommendation is to always have some personal cover in place too!
