The Change Exchange is a resource centre made just for you by BrightRock. It’s here to help you deal with life’s big deal changes and how they affect you, your health, your life and your pocket. You can find expert content and guidance, chat to other people going through the same changes as you, ask questions, and attend online events. We’re not talking change as in a new hairstyle or a new tattoo. We’re talking about those moments when CHANGE happens in capital letters; when the course of your life will probably be changed forever, even if it’s just by a couple of degrees. Like starting a family, tying the knot, making a home or landing that job. A Change Moment is the instant you say ‘I do’, hold your new bundle of joy for the first time, or get the keys to your new front door. And with it (besides some BIG emotions), comes a very real impact on how you think about and manage your money for today and for the future. That’s the essence of BrightRock’s (www.brightrock.co.za) needs-matched life cover and they do their best to change the way the life insurance industry works. And it’s why the Change Exchange is here to help you live and love your way through your life’s biggest Change Moments.
