HELP AT THE HARDEST TIME
Smart Term Insurance from our Recover Cover range of recovery and life insurance products is designed to provide financial support when you’re going through tough times.
We pay a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness* or pass away so your family can worry less about money and focus on dealing with their loss.
“It’s been a long journey for me. Your quick response and the team’s empathy towards my brother has been a smooth one, which has helped me worry less. I will certainly recommend others within my sphere to how smooth it’s been to deal with HCF.”
David, Recover Cover member, Smart Term Insurance
