Life and death insurance product gaining in popularity. Many people think that for ordinary people it is not relevant, because it seems that in everyday life nothing can happen, unless you are a stuntman, a conqueror of peaks or have a dangerous profession. But in practice this statement has long ago ceased to be correct. Each of us is at risk every day. Not only on the street, but at home we are not guaranteed 100% safety.
Life insurance is compulsory or voluntary insurance, which can have different purposes. This is an accumulation of money for retirement, financial support in case of disability or loss of the breadwinner, payment of funeral services, or receiving a certain amount by the successors in case of death of the insured person. In our country, employers are required to enter into contracts for each employee. Payments are made to the Pension Insurance Fund. Today everyone begins to think about voluntarily entering into this type of contract. Statistically it is the fastest growing segment on the insurance market.
The companies offer a variety of programs. This is death or survivorship insurance, contracts with lump-sum payments or periodic premiums. It is also possible to choose the term: either for life or for a certain period.
Our rating presents 12 largest companies which in the previous year collected the biggest amount of premiums and are still holding their positions.
