A beneficiary is the person (or people) you choose to receive your life insurance benefit if you pass away while you’re covered by a life insurance plan. If you’re choosing more than one beneficiary, you’ll need to let us know what proportion of the total benefit amount you’d like each beneficiary to receive. If you wish to add or update a beneficiary nomination for your plan, you can do so at any time. Simply call us on 1300 090 188 or email us at customerservice@neoslife.com.au.
