Why do customers choose SunLife?

With over 800,000 customers and thousands of reviews, why do so many people choose SunLife?

  1. Trusted – more people trust us with their over 50s plan than any other provider.
  2. Affordable – our customers choose us because they want an affordable way to leave some money behind for their loved ones. The Guaranteed Over 50 Plan starts from £4 a month depending on your age and smoker status.
  3. Easy application – applying online is easy, with no medical questions and guaranteed acceptance. We give customers the information they need to decide if the SunLife plan is right for them.
  4. Fixed monthly cost – we will never increase your agreed monthly premium. Choose a monthly amount you are comfortable with. Your monthly payments are fixed, and will stop on the anniversary date of your plan, following your 95th birthday. But you’ll still be fully covered for life.
  5. Guaranteed payout – we promise to give your family a payout when you die, usually within three days of receiving required documents. So, the money will be there to help cover your funeral costs or as a gift to remember you by.

SunLife’s heritage

SunLife’s roots go back more than 200 years, and in 1900, we were the first-ever company to offer life insurance without a medical.

Still offering no-medical insurance today, we’ve become a household name for the over 50s.

We're also part of Phoenix Group(www.thephoenixgroup.com opens in a new tab) – the UK's largest long-term savings and retirement business.

Important to know

  • You're only fully covered after you've had the plan for one year. If you die after the first year of your plan, the full cash sum will be paid to your loved ones.
  • Premiums are payable to the policy anniversary after your 95th birthday or earlier death. Your cover continues for life. If you stop paying your premiums earlier, your insurance will end and you won't get anything back.
  • Over 50s Insurance Plans do not guarantee to meet the full costs of a funeral.
  • Depending on how long you live, you could pay more in premiums than the cash sum paid out.
  • Because the cash sum is fixed, inflation will reduce its buying power over time.
  • Terms and Conditions apply
