The Fine Print…

Yep, here comes the legal bit. LifeCovered operates this website, which is designed to provide general information and education about insurance and financial protection. LifeCovered, established in 2017, is a registered Financial Advice Provider (FSP675171) and a trading name of LifeCovered Limited, authorised and regulated by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA).

We offer personalised financial advice tailored to your needs in areas such as life, trauma, mortgage protection, income protection, health insurance, and KiwiSaver.

How we’re paid

When you take out a policy through LifeCovered, the insurance company pays us a commission — not you. That means our advice and service come at no extra cost to you. You’ll pay the same premium whether you go directly to the insurer or through us.

The difference? With LifeCovered, you get honest advice, tailored recommendations, and ongoing support — all at no extra cost. We compare the market to find the best fit for your needs, and because we’re not tied to any one insurer, our advice is always focused on what works best for you. No sales targets, no hidden agendas — just smart, straightforward guidance.

When you work with LifeCovered, you receive advice specific to your situation — but only when that advice is given during a consultation.

While the information on this website is regularly updated, it may not apply to your unique circumstances. Any insurance premium quotes shown are indicative only and not binding. The insurer will confirm final pricing and terms after underwriting.

Please remember that the general content on this site is not personal advice. Only a direct conversation with one of our advisers qualifies as financial advice tailored to your needs. Before making any important financial, legal, or insurance decisions, we recommend consulting with a qualified adviser, accountant, or legal professional.
