About Scottish Widows

The strength of the Scottish Widows brand is based on the then-radical marketing decision taken in 1986 to create a living logo, the Scottish Widow.

For over 180 years, Scottish Widows, had survived wars and recessions to become a successful, Scottish-based life office. However, management ambitions looked well beyond these horizons and recognised that as the financial industry was changing, so too would Scottish Widows have to fundamentally change to keep pace.

As a result, every aspect of Scottish Widows business was scrutinised, right down to the actual name of the company, and how the brand and its associated values were maintained and promoted. The result was the 'Looking Good' advert of 1986, which broke new ground in financial services advertising.

    There are a number of factors to consider:

    The new Scottish Widows plan will need to be underwritten and could be offered on different terms or rejected if your state of health is different to when you originally took out the plan. If you do elect to take this offer you must ensure that the new plan is acceptable and in force before you stop the original.

    Mortgage protection plans are usually used in conjunction with repayment mortgages to protect against death and/or critical illness. The cover is designed to reduce in line with the outstanding mortgage loan.

    Life insurance cover is designed to pay out a lump sum should you die during the term of the policy. This is usually on a level basis, meaning that the sum assured does not reduce. Critical illness cover may also be included in the plan.

    For an additional cost, critical illness cover can be added to the life cover or mortgage protection plans. It provides cover if you are diagnosed with a critical illness such as cancer, stroke, heart attack, loss of hearing, and numerous others.

    A full explanation of the policy will be shown in the key features document.
