Protect Your Future if the Unexpected Happens

Critical illness cover pays out a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a serious medical condition — so you can focus on recovery, not finances.

Be Prepared

What is Critical Illness Cover?

Critical illness insurance provides a one-off, tax-free payout if you’re diagnosed with a listed condition like cancer, heart attack, or stroke.

The money can be used however you need — paying off the mortgage, covering treatment, replacing lost income, or simply giving you financial space while you get better.

It’s often added to life insurance, but can also be arranged as a standalone policy — with cover tailored to your personal health, lifestyle, and budget.
