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.

Process very easy to understand

Process very easy to understand. Encountered no issues of "questionable" wording during the process that many other insurance companies employ to screw their customers out of coverage when they need it most. When there was a question; seems the process has been refined as at those points were help links to provide guidance. Overall a very stress free process. And who needs stress when you're trying to gain peace of mind...

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”

Ethos is the BEST!

This company gave me life insurance when others wouldn't. In addition to my Living Trust's assets, I am leaving the proceeds of my life insurance policy to my Significant Other, so she will have plenty of assets after I'm gone. The process was fast--in fact, almost instantaneous. Wow!
