  • Quick quote looks 50% lower price than present arrangement.
    Makes me wonder if they would ever pay out.

    • they're a broker, not an insurer…the brands listed are all reputable brands. up to you whether to chase a lower price or one you have more confidence in

    • The policies compared are from the largest life companies in Australia - see rankings by size and market share.

      If you're paying double the quotes shown then you probably have a "direct to the public" policy. Being heavily marketed on TV, these direct brands encourage you to buy on impulse and rely on you not comparing premiums. For straightforward life policies the difference in cost can be staggering, as this comparison table shows.

      As for the paying of claims, APRA statistics show you are more likely to be paid by a policy purchased through a life insurance broker than a direct policy. The MoneySmart website has a Claims Comparison Tool which compares the claims acceptance rate by sales channel and insurer. In the year to June 2020, life insurance policies bought through a broker had a claims acceptance rate of 96.3%, compared to 88.9% for direct policies. It is the same story for income protection policies, claims acceptance rate 94.2%, compared to 84.5% for direct policies.
