Its story purpose is putting the drey back together after a bad day. Everything on this site is fictional; nothing can be applied for.

Insurance questions

Shared across the whole range.

What does an excess mean?

The first part of any claim the customer pays. A £1,200 loss with a £100 excess pays £1,100. Life cover has no excess.

How are the premiums worked out?

They are demo figures for a story customer aged 35 with no claims. Real premiums depend on real details; these depend on nothing at all.

Can I cancel a policy?

In the model, yes: a 14-day cooling-off period applies and after that a pro-rata refund. Life cover simply stops when premiums stop.

Does any of this insure anything real?

No. No policy, insurer, claim or payout exists. Every page is a worked example of how insurance figures fit together.

What the example does not promise

All figures are invented and shown to make the demo useful to read and crawl. No money is held, no application is available, and no deposit-protection, regulatory or tax-wrapper status is claimed. Calculations do not account for personal tax, inflation or unstated changes in rates. The fictional bank manager can guarantee only that the next paragraph contains no real acorns.
