Short-Term Solutions for Your Short-Term Needs

Our Term Life Insurance Provides Short-Term Coverage for the Duration You Need

Term life insurance is affordable coverage that lasts for only the number of years you select at issue. Once the term is over, your coverage ends. Unlike whole life and universal life insurance, term insurance builds no cash value.

This type of protection can be beneficial if you need coverage for only a specified time – perhaps to cover the payback terms of a student loan or mortgage. Or you may go through periods in your life when money is tight or when you're not quite sure you want permanent life insurance, yet you know you need the coverage. Term may be a viable financial solution.
