Single-Premium Life Insurance

A life insurance policy purchased with a large, lump sum payment. Single-premium life insurance may take any number of forms: it may be structured as whole life or term life, or nearly any other kind of life insurance. What distinguishes it is the one-time payment at the purchase of the policy.
