Premium payments must be up to date in order to qualify.

Also, for Santander mortgage customers, their mortgage must be active at the time the life policy qualifies for the cashback payment.

For a joint qualifying life protection policy, only one cashback will be paid to the first named policyholder.

The cashback will only be paid once per customer.

Santander notes this is a limited offer which only applies to new applications received between January 10, 2022 and March 31, 2022.

Life insurance is a type of financial protection that pays out following a valid claim if the policyholder dies.

People can choose to leave behind a lump sum for their loved ones and select how long they want their cover to run for.

They will then pay the same amount each month until their policy ends.

This lump sum can help to maintain the living standards of loved ones and could be used to pay off an interest-only mortgage or go towards general living costs and monthly outgoings such as rent.

People can also choose to make their cover amount increase in line with inflation.

This means that their monthly payments may rise and ensures that the lump sum won’t be worth less in the future because of the rising cost of living.
