What is underwriting?

Underwriting is our way of assessing your occupation, health, lifestyle, age and earnings to determine if you can be offered cover. It determines how much premium you need to pay each month for the insurance and also applies any special conditions if necessary, like exclusions due to high risk activities or occupations. It's important to correctly and fully disclose all the information we ask for in the insurance application questions to ensure your policy is valid.
