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.

Great Experience

I got a call from an agent (Lisa) who must have known that I was going through the online application process. Although the website made it very easy to navigate, it was AWESOME to talk to someone while doing it. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, and a pleasure to speak with, which made this that much easier of a decision.

There is nothing like this . . . . .

I was looking around for affordable life insurance for my wife and I for a while now. When I found out about Ethos I was cautiously optimistic. I was hoping that I could find life insurance for myself (a 62-year-old male) and for my wife that we could afford and still cover all the expresses of a funeral plus some extra money for my wife to live on. I was very happy to see that Ethos offers affordable life insurance for someone my age. I have told several of my friends about Ethos and they are very happy they went to Ethos as well. “THANK YOU ETHOS”
