Who Is Eligible?
Eligibility depends on age, health, and lifestyle. Generally, applicants must be 18–70 years old, in good health, and not have disqualifying medical conditions. TD Bank's online eligibility calculator can give a quick estimate.
Gathering Necessary Information
Before starting the application, collect:
- Personal ID (driver's license, passport)
- Social Security number
- Employment and income details
- Medical history and recent health reports

Choosing the Right Policy
Decide between term and whole life:
Term Life
Best for temporary needs—mortgages, education costs. Premiums are lower, but no cash value.
Whole Life
Offers lifelong coverage and a savings component that grows tax‑deferred. Premiums are higher.

Common Questions & Answers
Do I need a medical exam?
Not always. TD Bank offers a "no‑exam" option for low‑coverage amounts, but rates may be higher.
Can I add riders?
Yes. Riders like accelerated death benefit or disability add flexibility but increase premiums.
What happens if I miss a payment?
Missed payments may lead to policy lapse. TD Bank offers grace periods but it's best to keep payments on schedule.
