Primerica Term Life Insurance
Primerica has always been a company that champions the needs of Main Street North Americans.
While many other companies have increasingly followed the wealthy market, Primerica continues to focus on ways to help Main Street families become financially independent.
Since our founding in 1986, Primerica Canada has shown families how to protect themselves with affordable term life insurance, instead of more expensive cash value insurance, and how to invest the savings. We call our philosophy “Buy Term and Invest the Difference,” and it has given countless Main Street families the ability to build toward, and achieve, financial independence.
At Primerica, we have always believed that term insurance is the best way to protect working families. Consumer advocates and financial affairs writers agree.
that makes sense for the vast majority of us: term life insurance."1

In an instant ...
The two cars collided, sending one careening over the guardrail and into the canal. The client was trying to get home in the driving rain. While merging onto the highway, his car collided with another. Spinning out of control, he then flipped over both the guardrail and a six-foot, chain-link fence. Rescue workers could not reach him until he had spent 20 minutes submerged in the water. This husband and father's untimely death could have left his grieving widow in financial hardship. Fortunately, his Primerica representative had recently replaced $150,000 in cash value life insurance with $500,000 in term coverage through Primerica.

She had never thought of life insurance ...
She was too busy taking care of others. The client was a busy medical professional who had always taken care of others. Between her work and her family, she had never spent much time thinking about life insurance. Fortunately, she and her husband sat down one day with a Primerica representative. They both bought coverage through Primerica that included the Increasing Benefit Rider. Over the years, the wife's coverage increased from $200,000 to $300,000 when she was diagnosed with cancer. The couple was able to use the policy's Terminal Illness Benefit Rider to receive part of the wife's benefit before her death, which they used to pay bills and save their home from foreclosure.

An unforeseen disaster ...
A catastrophic tire failure sent the family truck hurtling into a paving machine. The young family was traveling on a busy highway when the right front tire on their pickup truck exploded. The out-of-control vehicle struck a stationary paving machine and crumpled, killing the mother, age 39, and the father, age 37. The children, ages 19 months, five years and nine years - all sitting in the back seat, with the two youngest in car seats and the oldest in a seatbelt - recovered from their injuries. The $900,000, paid through Primerica, will go toward the care of the children by the grandparents who now have custody of the children.

Cash value life insurance can be universal life, whole life, etc., and may contain benefits in addition to a death benefit, such as dividends, interest, or cash value available for a loan or upon surrender of the policy. Cash value insurance usually has level premiums for the life of the policy. Term life insurance provides a death benefit only and its premiums increase at certain ages.
