Key3 Critical Illness Insurance
Key3 Critical Illness Insurance is a simpler version of our standard critical illness product, covering cancer, stroke and heart attack. It pays a tax-free lump sum if your client suffers from one of these conditions.
It’s a cost-effective solution when compared to standard critical illness products, providing a protection option while working within their budget. There's also Key 3 with Life Insurance - then the policy will pay out in the event of death, terminal illness or for one of the three critical illnesses.
About Key3 Critical Illness insurance
Cancer, stroke and heart attack can affect anyone at any time. And it happens more often than you think.
- Every two minutes: someone is diagnosed with cancer2
- Every five minutes: someone in the UK is admitted to hospital due to a heart attack3
- Every five minutes: someone has a stroke4
Almost 83% of adult critical illness claims paid out by Aviva in 2022 were for illnesses covered by Key31. Putting a policy in place gives your clients the financial help they need to be able to focus on recovery, whether it’s paying for childcare, adapting a home to new ways of living or settling a mortgage.
