Choose a Policy

Your insurance policy is a contract detailing what you want to protect against, such as:

• Death of a breadwinner

Pay the Premium

The premium is the amount you pay for coverage, which can be monthly, quarterly, yearly, or a one-time payment for certain policies. Generally, paying annually is cheaper. Premium costs vary based on risk and the value of the potential loss.

Make a Claim

If an event covered by your policy occurs, you can file a claim. Report the incident to your insurer, who will investigate. If the claim aligns with your coverage, payment will be made as agreed.

Investing in insurance is not just about protecting your finances; it’s about securing your peace of mind. By understanding the types of insurance available and assessing your individual needs, you can make informed decisions that safeguard your future.
