Bankers Life and Casualty - Life Insurance Products

  • Term Life Insurance: Term Life Insurance is temporary coverage good for the life of the term, typically up to 20 years. Term life policies only pay death benefits and do not build cash values. With Level Term Insurance both the premiums and amount of insurance protection stay constant for the life of the policy. Decreasing Term Insurance is a policy typically purchased when insurance coverage is needed even though personal funds are being allocated to other expenses. Credit Life Insurance is term life insurance designed to pay off debt should the insured die before fulfilling all payment obligations. Increasing Term Insurance is a policy that provides a death benefit that increases over the term of the policy. Many term life policies are renewable and convertible into whole life plans.

  • Permanent Life Insurance: Permanent Life Insurance lasts throughout the life of the insured provided that all premiums are paid. One half of the premium goes to the insurance company to pay for the insurance protection and the other half goes toward the cash value buildup.

  • Whole Life Insurance: Whole Life Insurance requires premiums to be paid on the policy for the rest of the insured's life and goes to paying the face amount or death benefit to the beneficiary.

  • Limited Pay Policies: A Limited Pay Policy is a form of whole life insurance that requires the payment of premiums for a specific number of years or to a specific age. This option is offered to individuals who want lifetime insurance coverage but do not want to pay premiums for the rest of their lives. The premiums are generally higher and the cash values of limited pay policies build at a faster rate than regular whole life policies.

  • Single-Premium Whole Life: Single-Premium Whole Life is a limited pay life policy with a premium that may be as high as thousands of dollars.

  • Universal Life Insurance: Universal life insurance is a form of permanent life insurance with flexible premiums, cash values and adjustable death benefits.

  • Juvenile Insurance: Juvenile insurance is a means of building an insurance program with low premiums and standard rates. This form of insurance helps to protect a child's ability to procure insurance should the future hold unforeseen illness that may render them uninsurable. Juvenile insurance can be used to build cash or loan values and can be attained in any type of ordinary coverage.
