Thrivent Term Life Insurance Rates and Quotes

Thrivent Life insurance Company only markets it's products directly and though Thrivent Financial and through Independent brokers.  

 Because Thrivent is not carried by most independents at this time (possibly changing), you will need to go to the Thrivent site to get a Thrivent life Insurance quote.

You can then take that quote and compare with the major carriers quotes that are available by using the quote tool on this site.   

Are Thrivent Term Life Insurance Rates Competitive?

Sometimes.

Probably not the answer you were looking for, I know. It is however, the truth. 

After comparing Thrivent Life Insurance rates with the major carriers , Thrivent is often in the top seven (7) carriers for rate.

Price busters, like Banner Life, Protective and Lincoln are usually a little less expensive. Whereas impaired risk carriers like Prudential are slightly more.

Cases where Thrivent is not a great choice

While Thrivent may be competitive with major carriers for certain circumstances,  the fact remains that different carriers have differing appetites for specific health risks. 

Is Thrivent competitive on all of them? Not likely. 

If you have a specific condition, you are best off speaking with an independent agent to find out which carrier will give you the best chance to get approved at a great rate.  

That being said, if you are using Thrivent Financial for other financial services, it may make sense to keep everything under one roof.   

Thrivent Life Insurance Suicide Exclusions

The 2 year suicide clause that is part of all life insurance policies in the United States, is the same. (Note that some states use a 1 year exclusion)  

Thrivent Life Insurance Customer Service

The Thrivent Life Insurance Review Final Verdict

Is Thrivent Life Insurance Company right for you?It really all depends on your situation.

 If you have notable health impairment(s), you will likely be better suited by shopping around on the open market where it is convenient to make apples to apple comparisons. 

Moreover, having the use of an independent expert who can send your application to a carrier that is likely to view you in the best possible light has value that Thrivent can't offer.

However, if you happy with other services being being provided by Thrivent and in good health, it may be convenient to keep things "in house".  

Thank you for choosing the Bequest Mutual to shop for life insurance.
