Life Insurance
M&S life insurance will help protect your loved ones financially by paying out a lump sum of up to £500,000 if you die or contract a terminal illness during the term of the policy. Single or joint life cover is available. M&S Life Insurance provides a choice of level or decreasing cover options:
Level Cover – The amount you’re covered for remains the same throughout the term.
Decreasing Cover – The amount of cover reduces roughly in line with a repayment mortgage.
To qualify you must be a UK resident aged between 17-59 years old. You must also not be a member of the armed forces, Territorial Army or Army Reserve, and not be employed in hazardous occupations such as commercial diving, offshore work (including gas and oil platforms), offshore fishing or working with explosives. Currently M&S are offering a £100 gift voucher to spend in store when you purchase a new life insurance policy.
