AXA Life Insurance

AXA, a French company, is one of the largest life insurance providers in the world. Whilst their headquarters is in Paris the company has operations all over the world.

This includes;

  • Western Europe
  • Asia
  • Middle East and
  • North America.

Their life insurance offerings differ depending on the location that you are based.

The company was founded in 1816 but it was not until 1985 when it took on the name ‘AXA’. This was the result of AXA taking over a well-known insurance company in the United States; The Equitable. Since then the company has gone from strength to strength buying up a number of companies around the world in a bid to boost its life insurance offerings. Its latest, and perhaps largest purchase, is that of the Swiss Insurance company; Winterthur Group.

The name of the company differs depending on where you are in the world. Almost all of AXA’s operations tend to have the AXA name before it however. This means you should have absolutely no trouble spotting which operation is AXA owned and which is not.

AXA Life Cover

Like most insurance companies, AXA offers a variety of different life insurance policies. The policies that they offer, or at least the names of the policies that they offer, will differ based upon your location. Generally speaking they will fall into one of the following groups however:

  • Term Insurance: This policy has been designed for those under the age of 50, although people over that age are also able to obtain it. It is the least-expensive insurance policy that AXA currently offers. The term can last anywhere from one to ten years. It is at the discretion of AXA as to whether it can be renewed at the end of the term. The price will rise each term and thus the older you get the more expensive your policy will end up being.
  • Whole Life Insurance: This policy offers permanent protection. If you continue to pay the premiums for life then you will always be locked in at the best possible rate. Over time you will also be able to borrow against the policy’s cash value.
  • Universal Life Insurance: This is similar to the previous form of insurance only it is slightly more flexible in terms of the premiums. They may go up or down over time. There is a guaranteed return upon the cash value of the cash value 0of the policy.
