Final Expense
An answer for unexpected expenses
We look at life as if the best is yet to come, but it’s still wise for people to plan ahead for final expenses so their loved ones can rest easily. They can use fast and easy options to help protect their families from unexpected financial burdens associated with final expenses.
Transamerica’s Final Expense Solutions Portfolio provides level premium whole life insurance policies with face amounts from $1,000 to $50,000 and a guaranteed death benefit.*

Short, streamlined digital application — Enjoy a reduced medical questionnaire with an upfront eligibility question to quickly determine insurability
Policy eDelivery — Save time and hassle for both you and your clients with the elimination of mailing policy documents
Social Security benefit billing — this convenient option helps increase persistency and helpfully matches the premium withdrawal date to when benefits are deposited. Setup takes only three days from application to benefit deposit date.
