What is a life insurance policy?

Life insurance helps protect your loved ones’ financial future and supports them in keeping the family home should you pass away. Choose this insurance if you have a spouse, children or a joint loan with another person.

The life insurance compensation will be paid to your beneficiaries quickly, which means it can be a big help with covering everyday expenses, adjusting to the new circumstances or paying inheritance taxes.

You can choose a compensation amount between 10,000 and 500,000 euros when you buy the policy online. Our calculator will help you work out the amount that suits you the best.

How much does a life insurance policy cost?

What affects the price of life insurance? And should you choose the cheapest life insurance on the market?

The cheapest life insurance is not always the best option, especially if the level of cover is too low. Price is naturally important, but you should also pay attention to other benefits – and by choosing a life insurance policy from Nordea, you’ll have plenty of them. 

The cost of life insurance is personal and depends on your age and the level of cover you choose. See price examples and get a personal quote on life insurance.

What does life insurance indemnify and how is it paid?

  • The indemnity from your life insurance will be paid as one-off compensation to the beneficiary designated by you if you pass away due to an illness or accident. You can also choose a person other than a next-of-kin as the beneficiary of the indemnity – in principle, anyone.
  • Up to 90% of claims will be paid out within 5 days of us receiving the completed claim form and the required appendices.
  • If your life insurance is linked to a loan, the insurance compensation will primarily be used to pay off the loan. If the loan amount is lower than the life insurance compensation, the rest of the compensation will be paid to the beneficiary you have designated.

Additional benefits from your life insurance – up to 50% higher compensation amount

  • MyLife life insurance comes with an 25% increase to the compensation paid in the event of death. For example, if your cover is currently EUR 100,000, it will be EUR 125,000 after the increase.
  • When you add our free well-being benefit to your insurance, you can increase your insurance cover by an extra 15–25% by exercising actively.

In other words, you have a chance to get a 50% higher life insurance cover, free of charge.

An example of a life insurance policy of EUR 100,000 in which the well-being benefit is included at the active exerciser level:
ExampleEuros
Compensation amount chosen for the life insuranceEUR 100,000
Automatic 25% increase to the compensation amount+ EUR 25,000
Well-being benefit, active exerciser level 25% increase to the compensation amount+ EUR 25,000
If the insured event occurs, the total compensation isEUR 150,000

The examples above use the highest level of the well-being benefit, which is the active exerciser level and entitles you to a 25% increase to the insurance cover. Under the well-being benefit, the increase to the compensation amount can be either 0%, 15% or 25% during the validity of the insurance, depending on how actively you exercise.

The maximum amount for the increase to the insurance cover is EUR 100,000 in total when the additional compensation from the death cover and the well-being benefit are added up. The additional benefit of the death cover is confirmed annually.

Is it a good idea to link my life insurance to a loan?

You can get a Nordea MyLife insurance linked to a home loan. This means that your life insurance compensation is pledged for a loan, and if an insured event takes place, the compensation will primarily be used to pay off the loan.

Why should life insurance be linked to a loan?

  • Your life insurance compensation can help your family repay part of the loan or the full loan amount, depending on the compensation amount. This will protect your family's finances in a difficult situation and help them keep the family home.
  • When your life insurance is pledged for a loan, the share of the insurance compensation used for the loan repayments is tax-exempt.
  • If the life insurance compensation is larger than the outstanding loan balance, the rest of your life insurance compensation will be paid to the beneficiary of your choice. If the beneficiary is a next-of-kin, the compensation is taxed in connection with inheritance taxation.
  • When your life insurance is pledged for a loan, the premiums are paid conveniently in connection with loan repayments, so you won't need to deal with separate invoices.
  • You can link your life insurance to either an existing or a new home loan.
