International Protector is an international term insurance plan from Friends Provident International.
Friends Provident International offer an International Protector Middle East and an International Protector Asia version.
Friends Provident International’s International Protector offers international professional and expats peace of mind in the event that unplanned problems occur.
It is a product that can be tailored to suit individual needs.
The options are:
You also have the choice of level or decreasing term assurance depending on your circumstances.
Level term insurance may be right for protecting your loved ones in the event of your death and decreasing term may pay off a tapering liability such as a mortgage in the event of an unplanned occurrence.
All the normal expat life insurance restrictions apply to this plan (such as territoriality changes, hazardous sports exclusions, cancellation of cover if premiums are unpaid or voiding if inaccurate information is provided).
It is important that professional, independent advice is sought when buying international insurance.
Given the high level of commission its sale can produce for advisers, we recommend advice is sought from an independent adviser who charges a fee for the advice given, and rebates you the commission so you have the peace of mind that no conflict of interest exists.

In our view, it is unwise to purchase insurance from your bank, and potentially risky to limit yourself to a domestic insurer in your current country of residence.
As a global insurer, Friends Provident International is a market leader in the provision of international term insurance.
The International Protector is an excellent plan when professional, objective advice with regard to its inception and maintenance is sought. HOWEVER, there is the risk an adviser may add on hidden commissions so ensure you seek advice from a fiduciary.
