What’s the difference between Life Insurance & Income Protection?
Life Insurance and Income Protection both offer you and your loved ones additional financial support. Life Insurance will pay a lump sum in case of your death or diagnosis with a terminal illness, while Income Protection will provide you with regular payments should you be unable to work due to illness or injury.
