The application process is streamlined, allowing potential clients to receive instant quotes and often get approved within minutes by answering specific health and lifestyle questions. This approach contrasts with traditional life insurance methods, which can be lengthy and cumbersome. Ethos Life sells term and whole life insurance policies through partner carriers and earns commissions on these sales. Additionally, the company offers complimentary estate planning tools, such as free wills, to enhance the customer experience and set itself apart from competitors. The goal of Ethos Life is to provide straightforward and affordable life insurance options while simplifying the overall process for its customers.
