Life Insurance and Funeral Cover

Launched in 2014, Different Life offer policies underwritten by Old Mutual Alternative Risk Transfer Limited (a licensed Life Insurer and member of the Old Mutual Group). This means you're partnering with a reliable, stable insurance brand that's been around the block.

Using their unique online platform, Different Life has made it possible for you to purchase comprehensive Life Cover online with just a few clicks. From getting a quote to purchasing a policy, the whole process is friendly, easy-to-use and online, so that you can get cover and your policy documents when it suits you. You can also tailor your policy on your online dashboard, to make sure you have enough cover for you and your loved ones.


What makes us Different?

We're all about maximising impact, not profit. When you buy a Different Life policy, you can choose for your first payment of every year to go to an NGO of your choice on the Different.org philanthropy crowdfunding platform. We call this the Different Donation so while you look after your family's future, you'll also make a difference in the life of someone else. Working together, we can have a serious impact on our country.

Here's another innovation: if you refer a friend or family member to Different Life and they buy a policy, you will automatically be rewarded with another Different Donation: another monthly payment to donate on the Different.org site.
