National Australia Bank (NAB) does not currently offer life insurance products for sale to new customers. If you are researching life insurance options, please be aware that the bank has moved away from distributing these products directly. For individuals who already hold an existing life insurance policy with NAB, your coverage continues to be managed, and you can still contact the bank for support regarding your current policy terms.
When seeking life insurance, it is recommended that you consult with a qualified financial adviser who can assess your specific needs, such as death cover, total and permanent disability (TPD), or income protection. Comparing offerings from specialized insurance providers allows you to find a policy that aligns with your financial obligations, family requirements, and long-term security goals.

Troubleshooting Common Access Issues
1. MFA / Login Issues
- Cause: You cannot access your policy details online because your multi-factor authentication (MFA) SMS is not arriving.
- Simple Fix: Ensure your registered mobile number is up to date and that you have a stable connection.
- Fallback Action: Call the insurance support line directly; the team can verify your identity and assist you without requiring an online login.
2. Browser or App Errors
- Cause: The insurance support page or portal fails to load, often due to an outdated browser or cached site data.
- Simple Fix: Clear your browser cache and cookies, or try accessing the page using an incognito or private window.
- Fallback Action: Use a different device or simply call the contact number listed on the official NAB support website.
3. Locked Account / ID / Access Issues
- Cause: You are locked out of your digital insurance account after repeated failed attempts to retrieve your policy information.
- Simple Fix: Use the 'Forgot Password' tool to reset your access securely using your email address.
- Fallback Action: Contact the insurance support team; they can manually verify your identity and help regain access to your policy information.
Pro-Tip: Before speaking with a financial adviser about new life insurance, prepare a 'Needs Analysis' document. Include your current mortgage balance, annual income, total debt, and the ages of your dependents. This data helps an adviser provide a much more accurate recommendation for the level of cover you actually require, rather than a generic product estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I have an existing NAB life insurance policy. Who do I call if I need to make a claim?
If you hold an active policy, you should contact the specific insurance support team listed on your original policy documentation or the official NAB insurance support page. These teams are specifically trained to handle claims and policy adjustments. Do not rely on general banking contact numbers, as they may not have access to your insurance file. Call the dedicated insurance support line immediately to begin the formal claims process.
Q: Why does the bank no longer sell life insurance?
Many major Australian banks, including NAB, have divested or ceased selling life insurance products to simplify their business models and focus on core banking services. This change is part of a broader shift in the Australian financial sector. If you are looking for new cover, you may need to look at life insurance companies, superannuation funds that offer insurance, or work with a licensed financial adviser to find a suitable policy in the current market.
