Nominating
beneficiaries
Find out why it's important
and how to do it.
What does nominating a beneficiary mean?

It means you decide who will receive the proceeds of your investment and/or death benefits after your passing. Claims with nominated beneficiaries are paid directly to the beneficiary, without going in to the estate, which could take longer to finalise.

Choose

You can choose one or more beneficiaries per policy. If you choose more than one beneficiary per policy, decide the percentage split of the proceeds that each beneficiary should receive.

Nominate

Make it official by nominating beneficiaries to your policies using either one of the below touchpoints.
