Ethos offers $20,000 to $2 million in term life insurance. If you buy a guaranteed issue whole life policy, the maximum coverage amount is usually $30,000.

Seniors (66-85) can take advantage of whole life coverage from $1,000 to $30,000 in guaranteed coverage regardless of medical history.

As a consumer you can obtain coverage from Ethos if you live anywhere in the United States except for New York.

Ethos allows consumers to obtain quotes and apply for coverage in as little as 10 minutes. Some applicants may be able to qualify for coverage straight away by answering some health questions without having a medical examination with an accelerated underwriting procedure.

Both term life insurance and guaranteed issue whole life insurance are available through Ethos. While it does not provide quite as much coverage as other providers, Ethos could be an excellent alternative for people who want to obtain life insurance fast without having to go through the hassle of a complicated application procedure.

*Legal & General America (LGA), a large U.S. life insurance company since 1836, issues and guarantees Ethos policies. Ethos uses technology to learn about you so that they can discover novel and genuinely personal ways to insure you.

Kim was incredibly helpful and took her time walking me through my life insurance policy. This was entirely new to me and setting it up was something I had put off for far too long. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be complicated, hell, I wasn’t even sure where to start, but Ethos made it easy. I walked away with a policy that covers my wife and kids futures and isn’t going to break the bank.

Little Confusing

Experience was great for me, but 3 days later, my wife could not get a similar policy. Her quote was 50% more with less than half the coverage. Does not make sense since she too is young and healthy. We were told that hers was quoted in a different month (Nov) from mine (Oct),but they were only days apart. One policy accepted credit cards , but the other only bank routing.They seemed to be totally different policies. Will have to shop her policy around after 1st month.
