What advantages does Whole Life insurance offer?↑Top↑
As the name suggests, Whole Life is permanent life insurance that provides protection your whole life through. It also offers cash value that grows tax-deferred over time - cash value that can be borrowed against for a variety of purposes*. What's more, Whole Life premiums stay level for as long as you own the policy ... and the death benefit stays the same, as well*. For an estimate of the premium costs involved with Whole Life insurance, fill out our free, no-obligation Quotes form or call a Sales Advisor. We will help you in finding the best life insurance premium quote for your desired Whole Life plan.

*Loans against the policy will reduce the death benefit amount by the sum owed.

What options do I have if I become disabled and cannot pay my premiums?↑Top↑
The best way to avoid this situation is to purchase our Waiver of Premium policy rider*. For a small additional monthly charge, this rider will cover your premium should you become fully disabled before age 60.  
What advantages does Term Life insurance offer?↑Top↑
Term Life insurance offers families reliable protection at an affordable cost. It is particularly useful when you are just starting out, when people have many obligations and few assets. Term Life can provide an essential level of security for your loved ones. It also offers the flexibility of level payment options for up to thirty years, and the ability to convert your coverage to an eligible Whole Life policy at any time without having to answer any additional medical questions. For an estimate of the premium costs involved with Term Life insurance, fill out our free, no-obligation Quotes form or call a Sales Advisor.

SBLI USA does offer a policy rider for Spouse Coverage that provides supplemental Term Life insurance for your spouse. The Spouse Coverage rider is available with certain policies.

I'm twenty years away from retirement. Can you suggest some life insurance options for me? ↑Top↑
We have developed a number of products that address the needs of people at your stage of life. Limited Payment Whole Life is one that offers a cash value and a death benefit, with premiums that end after twenty years. There's also Single Premium Whole Life, which provides Whole Life benefits for one convenient premium payment. Either way, these options mean one less payment you'll need to keep track of while you're enjoying your retirement ... and that's a good thing. 
Can I purchase both Whole Life and Term Life coverage without applying for two separate policies?↑Top↑
On most of our Whole Life policies, we offer a 10 Year Term rider that provides additional coverage up to $100,000 with premiums that stay level for ten years. It's an affordable way to ensure that "disappearing" liabilities (like consumer debt) are covered for as long as is needed. 
What resources do you offer for people who want to start planning their future?↑Top↑
We offer a number of resources you may find useful in helping to build your financial plan. Our free Planning Guides offer insights into the issues involved in insurance planning, with three levels to choose from. We also provide a number of educational resources on this Web site, including full-length interactive seminars, articles, real life stories, life events, and more. You'll find all of these resources in the Education & Information section.

Which kind of life insurance policy is the best in affordability - Term Life or Whole Life?↑Top↑
Term Life insurance tends to be the most affordable. However, Term policies become more expensive to buy as you get older. While Whole Life policies are initially more expensive, your premium stays the same your whole life through, with no reduction in benefit.*.
