Understanding Protection for Seniors
Many New Zealanders over 50 wonder if they can still get quality coverage. The answer is absolutely yes. Our policies are specifically designed for Kiwis aged 50 to 85, recognizing that this is when financial protection matters most.
Life doesn’t stop at 50—in fact, this is often when we have the most to protect. Your home, your savings, your family’s lifestyle—these all represent decades of hard work that deserve protection. That’s why we’ve created policies that address the real concerns seniors face, from rising healthcare costs to ensuring funeral expenses don’t burden loved ones.

Understanding Premium Costs
Your premium is influenced by several factors including your age when applying, whether you smoke or have smoked recently, your chosen coverage amount, and whether you select single or joint coverage.
