Partners Life

Life won't give you warning when it's over. Are you covered?

Partners Life is a proudly New Zealand operated and predominantly New Zealand owned business. We began with humble beginnings as a small start-up in 2011. Since then, we've become a recognised industry leader in life and health insurance. Our focus is on protecting Kiwi families and businesses when life is interrupted by a serious health event.

Trauma Cover

Trauma Cover products pay out a sum of money if you are diagnosed with, or suffer from one of the large number of listed serious health conditions.

Innovative and comprehensive product development is the cornerstone of our focus at Partners Life - our approach is to develop products that deliver the strongest combination of coverage and value for money available in the market. This gives you the best possible chance to make a claim when things go wrong.

Some of the key benefits we offer:

Loyalty discount

We value our clients and to reward you for continuing to do business with us, we automatically start discounting your premium from your second policy anniversary. Discounts increase by 1% per year up to a maximum of 10%; and then continue for the life of your policy.

Free upgrades

Any new policy improvements or enhancements we introduce apply to our existing customers, meaning your cover will remain up to date and competitive through time.

Guaranteed policy wording

We guarantee all of our policy wordings will remain for the life of the contract. This means no matter what features and benefits we might restrict or remove for new policies in the future, our clients will retain their specific original policy wordings for as long as they keep their policy in force.

"If it's grey we will pay"

When a claim is received and it's not clear from the medical evidence if it should be accepted or declined, and no further clarifying evidence is available, we will accept the claim.

Premium holidays and suspensions

When life throws an unexpected curve ball or if you decide to travel overseas for a period of time, you can talk to us about taking a premium holiday or suspension.
