Good to know

Common questions

Who qualifies for instant issue?
Generally healthy applicants within certain age and coverage bands. The system checks real-time data to make a fast decision.
Is it really instant?
For many qualified applicants, yes - a decision in minutes. Some applications route to a short review.
What if I don't qualify instantly?
You can still get covered through standard underwriting - we'll guide you to the best path.
Is instant-issue coverage temporary or conditional?
Neither. An instant approval is a full, final policy - the same term life contract a six-week process would produce.
What trips up an instant decision?
Recent prescriptions, certain conditions, or record mismatches can route you to human underwriting. That is not a decline - just a slower yes, and we manage it for you.
