Welcome to Finance and Fury, The Say What Wednesday Edition
This week question comes from Matt -
Not so sure if this is your area of expertise or have come across this at all, although I have a question regarding insurance and identification of gender. People know that gender affects the price of insurance premiums paid and can save a significant amount if one were to identify as a female for insurance to pay less, would this be legal or do insurance companies have a way around this.
Cheers – from Matt,
Thanks for getting in touch. That is an awesome question!
– two people Aged 40 – working in office admin job – same incomes $80k
Depending on if you need more Life – the female is cheaper, if you are male, IP is cheaper – but have to disclosure biological gender – assessment is based around this and underwriters would write off to doctors
