About Pulse

Pulse is a specialist protection insurance business offering life cover and income replacement to personal and corporate clients who are deemed non-standard risks. They are the 2016 winners of the Cover Excellence Award for Specialist Intermediary.

What are Pulse able to offer?

There are occasions when a client requires life cover but is unable to obtain this from any of the usual providers due to a medical condition, their occupation, their activities or their residency. In these circumstances, Pulse will look to place cover through specialist insurers such as Lloyd’s of London.  Pulse are also able to place cover for clients who are in relatively good health but require income replacement and are unable to obtain this from other markets due to their residency.

The following products are available through Pulse

  • Term life cover for UK residents
  • Term life cover for overseas clients subject to a maximum term of 10 years
  • Income Replacement for overseas based clients

These products are available for both personal and corporate clients on an individual or group basis.

When should you use Pulse?

Examples of where Pulse have previously been able to assist include

  • clients who have been declined cover due to medical reasons such as diabetes, heart conditions, cancer or transplant as well as complex combinations of conditions
  • clients who have a high BMI, up to 60
  • clients who are located in areas of conflict such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Sudan or have occupations such as security escorts, close protection and on-board marine security
  • clients located offshore manning oil rigs, diving/exploration equipment and geologists

This is not an exhaustive list and individual cases can be discussed with Pulse to ascertain if they can help.
