Product Features

Savings contributions

1. You can choose to invest any amount, which will grow at the declared interest rate. 
2. You can also make changes to your savings contribution anytime you want. Your savings contributions will grow at the declared interest rate over time. 
3. Lastly, you are allowed to withdraw any amount up to the full value of your savings at any time, and there are no penalties for such withdrawals.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long can you keep the policy?

The policy has an open-ended term. You can keep the policy for as long as you want, as long as it remains active. You can keep paying premiums and the assured lives will remain covered on the policy until:

• The policy lapses
• You submit a request for cancellation
• The principal life assured dies
• We cancel your policy for any reason including, but not limited to, suspected fraud or misrepresentation

If any of the events mentioned above happen, the policy will not be active anymore. Your premiums or contributions at such an instance will cease, and we shall not pay any further claims.

2. How long can family members be covered by the policy?

As long as the policy is active, all lives can remain covered, subject to their premiums being paid. Cover for children ceases on their 20th birthday. Thereafter, you will be able to add them as extended family.

3. How long can you save on the policy?

5. How can your policy lapse?

You can cancel your policy at any time should you wish to. Simply let us know of your decision. Your cover will cease, and we will pay you your savings value. If you do not pay your risk premium on time, the risk premium will be deducted from your savings value. If you do not pay your risk premium on time and do not have enough in your savings value to fund your risk premium, your policy will remain in force for one calendar month which is called the grace period.

During the grace period, death benefits remain in force. If the insured dies during the grace period, we will deduct the amount of any unpaid premiums from the death benefit payable. Should your risk premium remain unpaid, your policy will lapse after the grace period.s long as the policy is active, you can continue contributing to your savings. If you don’t pay a risk premium when due, we will deduct the risk premium from your savings value.
