Sanlam Indie: Frequently Asked Questions

Sanlam Indie Life Cover pays out to cover your debts so the people you care about don't have to, and ensures your family can keep living their best life. At the same time, the quick payout ensures you have a proper send-off.

If you're diagnosed with a terminal illness and your life expectancy is less than one year, you will receive an immediate tax-free payout.

When you die, your beneficiaries receive a tax-free payout. The amount will depend on the cover you’ve chosen. Your quick payout portion will be paid upfront to help with immediate expenses.

The quick payout portion (10% of your life cover up to R50,000) will be paid out as quickly as possible so that your family can cover urgent costs, such as funeral costs and daily essentials. The rest of your cover will be paid out as normal.

Speak to a financial adviser to create a tailor-made solution that suits your lifestyle and your pocket.

Your premium is determined by your age and risk profile when you take out the cover. To get a guaranteed quote in just 10 minutes, use the Sanlam Indie calculator.
