Help protect the ones you love.

Life insurance can help protect your family’s financial picture for decades — long enough to see you through big life commitments like paying a mortgage or raising kids.

How does life insurance work?

Term life insurance is actually pretty simple. You make monthly payments and go about your life. If you pass away during your term, your chosen beneficiaries — like a spouse or kids — receive your death benefit amount as a payout.

  • Make a monthly payment

    Policies can start at just $11/mo. for up to 30 years of coverage.

  • If you pass away

    Your policy provides protection during your term.

  • Policy is paid out

    After an approved claim, the death benefit is paid to your beneficiary(ies).

Term life insurance vs. whole life insurance

Term Life

Coverage

A term life policy provides a set amount of coverage for a period of time that you select when you buy it.

That’s the “term.” It can range from 5, 10, even 30 years.

Cost

Term is cheaper than whole life, since coverage ends when the policy expires.

Term life insurance rates for some qualified applicants can start as low as $11/mo.

Whole life

Coverage

Permanent coverage is exactly what it sounds like. It remains in force until you pass away.

If you make all payments, the benefit, or payout, is guaranteed.

Cost

Given the eventuality of your death, carriers charge much larger premiums on whole life policies than term - often as much as 5X.

When is the right time to buy life insurance?

It might be today! Typically, the younger you are, the lower your premium will be. Prices generally go up the longer you wait to buy. But once you buy your policy, we’ll never raise your price during your term. We promise!
