Learn moreA life insurance policy is there to make sure that a family has financial protection when the breadwinner passes away. When you take out a life cover policy, you pay a premium every month and, in the event of your death, 1Life Insurance pays your beneficiaries, for example your family or other dependants, a lump sum.
Your family can use your life insurance pay-out to survive the loss of your income and provide them with the financial protection they need to live the life you’ve always planned for them. A lump sum pay-out can be used to cover daily living expenses, medical bills and school fees, or to pay off debts, like your house or cars. Your family can also use your pay-out to start building generational wealth by saving and investing for their future and their children’s future.
Anyone who has people who rely on them for financial support needs the protection and peace of mind of life insurance. If your income supports a spouse, children or extended family and elderly parents, and they would not be able to support themselves if you passed away, then you need a life cover policy. Your life insurance pay-out will make sure that your loved ones can meet their monthly living expenses, repay debt, pay off the bond on the family home or cover school fees and medical bills.

Funeral cover provides your family with the finances to pay for a funeral, as well as costs related to the death of you as the main member or any member on the policy. These costs could include funeral parlour services, repatriation services, even the medical costs, if any.
The cost varies, depending on factors like whether it is a burial or cremation, the type of casket and headstone and how many mourners are catered for.
Additional documentation may be required specific to each claim. This will be communicated to the claimant(s) during the process of assessing the claim. Once 1Life Insurance has received all of the necessary documentation needed to assess the claim, a valid claim may be paid out within 10 working days.
Qualifying funeral claims can be approved in 5 minutes and approved claims can be paid within 24 business hours.
