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.
