If you were diagnosed with cancer today, what would you do?

Recovery insurance provides you with a cash lump sum if you suffer one of over 45 serious medical conditions. This gives you financial choice to take care of the things that are really important to you and that can help you recover. Unlike health insurance, you can use the money for anything you like, medical costs, travel expenses, childcare, in-home care, lost income, or a change in lifestyle. It’s your choice.

Accelerated Cover

You can choose to link your Recovery Insurance to your Life Insurance. This offers a more affordable option, because it will reduce your Life Insurance sum - there is a buy-back option.
