Payment is as convenient as a monthly Standing Instruction (i.e. setting up your bills for auto-payment at set frequency) and the policy assures you of financial assistance and independence.

Moreover, at any time that you have a service request or wish to discontinue your policy, you can do so easily. Find out how, here, but please keep in mind that insuring yourself is a smart way to protect yourself and your loved ones from multiple risk factors.
