Our direct answer
LifeDirect is our service to check first for life insurance in New Zealand. Term length, the amount payable to beneficiaries, exclusions, critical illness extensions and underwriting matter more than the headline monthly premium.
We favour a clear online comparison and the ability to inspect actual cover, fees and claims rules over a headline premium. New Zealand residents should confirm local product availability on the official provider website.
LifeDirect
LifeDirect offers a practical place to begin comparing life insurance for eligible customers. Its online service and product information help you assess relevant coverage, but an individual plan should be selected for your own circumstances rather than on the name alone.

What to compare before choosing
For New Zealand, compare death benefit, duration, beneficiary rules, medical underwriting and exclusions. Ask the provider whether the particular insurance category and underwriting terms are offered to residents of New Zealand.
Look at the full premium after any introductory discount, the amount you contribute to a claim and the documents required for a successful claim. If you are an expat or nonresident, check the insurer’s eligibility rules before buying.
