ORIX Life Launches “Keep Up” Income Coverage Insurance with Affordable Premiums Based on Health and Smoking Status
Apr 10, 2025
TOKYO, Japan – April 10, 2025 – ORIX Life Insurance Corporation (“ORIX Life”) announced today that it will update*1 its Keep income coverage insurance (“Keep”) and launch Keep Up income coverage insurance (“Keep Up”) on June 2, 2025. Besides offering more affordable premiums than ever before based on the customer's health status and other factors, coverage for physical disability and long-term care can now be added to existing death benefits, allowing customers to prepare for the risk of being unable to work.
The previous Keep product was well received by many customers for providing insurance for death and severe disability based on the concept of being simple and easy to understand and providing reasonable coverage at affordable prices.
The new Keep Up product retains the same basic concept as before, but with premiums set at a more detailed level based on the insured person's body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, smoking status, and other factors. As a result, it is now possible to obtain reasonable coverage with premiums that are even more affordable than before based on health and smoking status.
In addition, coverage for physical disability and long-term care has been enhanced, enabling Keep Up to offer not only death benefits, but also respond to the needs of the working generation for coverage during their lifetime. For long-term care, a lump-sum payment is made for those who are classified as requiring support level 2 or higher*2, which can be used for treatment and other costs to prevent the worsening of their condition.
As people are working for longer due to extended retirement ages and other factors related to the 100-year life, approximately 70% of households are concerned about their ability to cover living expenses if the head of the household becomes unable to work*3. This product was developed with the aim of providing strong support for customers' lives if they become unable to work by adding coverage for physical disability and long-term care.
ORIX Life has been working to enhance its first-sector insurance, such as death insurance, and expand its product lineup in recent years in order to better serve its customers as a life insurance company. It will continue to provide products with coverage and premiums at a standard that satisfies customers as it aims to remain an insurance company that is chosen by many customers.
