Smart questions you may be asking
Will Ladder be around to pay my claim?
Our policies are issued by insurers with long, proven histories of paying claims. They’re rated A and A+ by A.M. Best and, like us, they’re not going anywhere. Still, here’s when a policy may not pay out: death by suicide, and fraud. Learn more about our partners.

Is Ladder 100% digital?
We are 100% digital — no doctors, no needles, no paperwork — when you apply for $3 million in coverage or less. Anything greater and we may ask you to complete a quick, free, at-home health check.

Why term life insurance vs whole life insurance?
Term insurance protects your family for the 10-30 years they depend on you most. When your term ends, your monthly payments end too. Term coverage is more affordable than whole coverage, which can last as long as you pay for it.

How much life insurance do I need?
