Lincoln Financial is a good fit for a healthy nonsmoking 40-year-old seeking $1 million of 20-year term coverage without a traditional medical exam, if they qualify for lab-free accelerated underwriting through Lincoln TermAccel Level Term. No-exam treatment is conditional, not guaranteed.
USAA is a good fit for healthy buyers who want a fast online term-life decision and may qualify for no-exam approval through Eagle Express, with stated coverage of $100,000 to $10 million. Instant approval is conditional, and pricing is not publicly transparent.
Banner Life is a good but conditional fit for instant-decision term life insurance. Its Horizon accelerated-underwriting process can produce instant decisions for qualifying applicants, but approval is eligibility-based and not guaranteed.

Mutual of Omaha is a good fit for parents with young children who want level-premium term coverage sized to income replacement and education costs, provided they accept agent-assisted underwriting and slightly above-average pricing.
