Looking after your loved ones

Life insurance is about giving yourself, and loved ones, valuable peace of mind. It provides your loved ones with financial support when you pass away, with the aim of reducing the financial impact. Helping your family continue managing everyday financial matters, like household bills or mortgage payments.

We're pleased to offer Life Insurance and Critical 3 with Life Insurance, provided by Aviva.

All Aviva customers also get 24/7 access to Aviva Smart Health. This gives you access to online, telephone, and video GP appointments as well as a range of health and wellbeing services - all at no extra cost. 

Aviva Smart Health is provided to Aviva customers by Teladoc Health. These services are non-contractual, which means they don't form part of the insurance contract with Aviva. If Aviva's with Teladoc Health ends, these services could be changed or withdrawn in the future.
