Some important things you should know

  • Golden Life Insurance is an insurance policy, not a savings or investment product, so if you cancel your policy after the 30-day cooling-off period, you do not receive your premiums back, nor will you be entitled to any benefit amount.
  • With Golden Life Insurance, your premiums will be recalculated based upon your age and your benefit amount each year. This means your premiums will generally increase as you get older. This yearly premium change will also reflect the 3% increase to your chosen benefit amount due to the Automatic Benefit Amount Increase feature, designed to help your cover keep up with rising living costs. You can decline this feature by informing us if you don’t want it.
  • The benefit amount will not be paid if you die or are diagnosed with a Terminal Illness3 as a result of an intentional self-inflicted injury or attempted suicide that occurred before the policy commencement date or within the first 13 months of the policy commencement date. Refer to the Policy Document for full details.
  • Your chosen benefit amount may not cover all your outstanding financial commitments and expenses upon your death, or the costs associated with a terminal illness. You will need to carefully consider your level of cover to ensure it suits your needs.
  • If you are looking to replace an existing insurance policy, you should not cancel any existing cover until your Golden Life Insurance application is accepted and you have reviewed your policies. There are general risks of replacing an existing insurance policy including the loss of any accrued benefits, the possibility of waiting periods starting again, implications of any errors or omissions in your new application and differences in price and product terms and conditions.

Premiums for a non-smoker are lower than for a smoker of the same age and gender, with the same benefit amount and accepted at standard premium rates. Golden Life Insurance is an insurance policy and not a savings plan which means if your policy is cancelled, you will not get anything back (unless it is cancelled within the cooling off period). The total premiums you pay over the life of the policy could also be more than the benefits we pay out.
