Futurisk Services

Your family’s well-being depends on a regular income. Life is, however, full of uncertainties, and your circumstances can change in an instant.

For this reason, Futurisk offers a number of income protection policies. These ensure that your future is taken care of should life throw you a curveball.

You can choose from three income protection plans

1. Agreed-value insurance

This policy offers you a unique and reliable solution for safeguarding your income by locking in a predetermined income amount when you apply. You’ll receive a guaranteed payout based on your agreed-upon income, regardless of any fluctuations in your earnings or working hours that may occur in the future.

You have the peace of mind that you’ll receive the financial support you need if an unexpected disability or illness interrupts your ability to work. It enables you to maintain your lifestyle with confidence in the knowledge that you’ve chosen a dependable and transparent protection plan.

2. Indemnity income insurance

This option offers you a sense of security by replacing a portion of your lost income in the event of disability or illness. Unlike some other income protection policies, this policy bases the benefit amount on the actual earnings at the time of the claim.

This means that the payout will reflect the income you were receiving when the disability or illness occurred, ensuring fair compensation tailored to your specific circumstances. This option is ideal if you’re seeking a simple and transparent income protection solution, that provides financial stability during tough times.

3. Loss of earnings insurance

With this type of cover, you have the freedom to select between an agreed-value or indemnity benefit. You can choose the agreed-benefit payout, or - if you provide the required proof of your pre-disability income - you can qualify for a higher benefit amount.

Help when it matters most

Futurisk’s holistic approach to income protection goes beyond traditional coverage. They don’t only replace your income but also consider the earning potential you had before the disability or illness occurred.

With a strong reputation for reliability and customer-centricity, Futurisk is the go-to choice for income protection insurance. Their insurance packages cover a wide variety of professions and industries, ensuring that individuals from diverse backgrounds can find suitable protection.

Through a careful assessment of your profession, qualifications, and career trajectory, they determine the maximum potential earnings you could have achieved if not for the unfortunate event. It allows you to maintain your financial security and life goals knowing that you’ll get all the support you need when times get tough.

To apply for a Futurisk income protection policy, you can contact them telephonically or complete the application online and attach the required documents. You can also book an appointment online to meet with a representative in person.

Eligibility requirements

  • You must be a New Zealand resident between the ages of 18 and 65.
  • You must be gainfully employed. If you’re self-employed, you also qualify.
  • There might be a minimum income requirement to ensure that the policy adequately covers your earnings.
  • Futurisk may assess your health profile to determine eligibility and premium rates.
  • Your occupation and profession could play a role in determining eligibility, as some high-risk occupations might have different terms or coverage options.

Documentation required

You need to submit the following with your application:

  • A valid form of identification, such as a passport or driver's license is necessary to verify your identity.
  • Documents, such as payslips or tax returns, will be required to verify your income and determine your appropriate coverage level.
  • Information about your current employment, including job title, company name, and contact details.
  • Your medical history and relevant medical reports or records.

Depending on your specific circumstances and the policy type, additional documents may be requested to complete the application process.

Income protection versus life insurance

Unlike life insurance, which provides a predetermined lump sum payout, income protection insurance offers a series of consecutive payments designed to act as a regular income stream until the policyholder has sufficiently recovered to resume work or until the policy term expires.

Waiting periods can vary based on individual requirements, offering the person becoming disabled a range of options for the length of time they must wait before being eligible to receive a claim payment. Opting for longer waiting periods allows the individual to lower their monthly premiums. The company provides waiting periods that span from 4 to 104 weeks.

For benefit payment periods, individuals have the freedom to choose the duration of time they will receive payments. Opting for a shorter benefit payment period results in reduced premiums. The company offers a range of options for payment periods, spanning from 1 to 5 years, with the policy having the flexibility to conclude either at the age of 65 or 70 years old.
