Bonus
- Maximum Cover
- $1,500,000
- Maximum Entry Age
- 69
- Terminal Illness Benefit
- $1,500,000
Our verdict
ANZ now offers Ezicover life insurance, which is issued by Zurich so could be good if you want a policy with a well-known provider.
- Ezicover life insurance is provided by Zurich Australia, so could be a good choice if you want to go with a globally established brand.
- You get the first month's premium free plus a 10% multi-policy discount on a second life insurers policy.
- Its $15,000 funeral advancement is probably enough for most but brands including Qantas and TAL offer $10,000 more.
