Are you a regular Woolies shopper? If yes, you might be pleased to know that you can now add life insurance to your shopping list! Honestly, is there anything you can't get with the 'fresh food people'? On top of all that, the life insurance Woolworths offers is now award-winning.

That's right, Woolworths' Life Insurance just scooped up a 2021 Mozo Experts Choice Award for Exceptional Quality! Woolworths policy was one of only four that received the award - the results of which are determined by our team of research experts.

To select the winners for this particular award, our team of experts scoured through policies from 26 different insurance providers. The generosity of additional benefits offered and the flexibility of the policy were taken into account. Price is not taken into consideration for this award.

Expert Judge Peter Marshall said, "After gathering multiple quotes we were particularly impressed with Woolworths' Life Insurance Policy. Where eligible, the sum insured amount is generous, plus there's also the possibility of a $15,000 advanced payment - this can help cover funeral costs."

As you can see, this policy ticked quite a few boxes for Mozo's research team. So if you're after life cover that is fairly generous, this one might be worth looking into.

A little about Woolworths

More commonly known as 'Woolies,' Woolworths supermarkets were founded way back in 1924 and have gone on to become one of Australia's largest supermarket chains. In the nearly 100 years since the first store was opened on Pitt Street in Sydney, Woolworths has branched out to other products, including insurance.

Woolworths sells a whole range of insurance products, including home, car, pet and of course life insurance. Woolworths Life Insurance is underwritten by Swiss Re which has been in the insurance game since the 19th Century.
