Ensure your financial security with a lump-sum payout for added protection
The policy offers a lump-sum payout to provide financial protection for the policyholder and their loved ones in the face of potential financial stress caused by a covered Critical Illness, Total and Permanent Disability, Terminal Illness, or death.
In the event of the Life Assured’s death without any prior claims, insurer will pay either 100% of the Sum Assured or the total premiums paid, depending on which amount is higher. However, if there are prior claims on the benefits, the payout will be either 100% of the Sum Assured minus any previous claims (excluding claims for Diabetic Conditions Benefit) or the total premiums paid minus any previous claims, whichever amount is higher.
The Critical Illness Benefit, Total and Permanent Disability Benefit, and Terminal Illness Benefit are considered early payouts of the Death Benefit. For more details, please refer to the Product Summary.
Flexible Premium Terms
Select the coverage term that suits your needs, whether it’s 15 years, until the age of 85, or any duration in between. Rest assured that we will provide protection throughout the chosen policy term.
Heart Health
In matters concerning heart health, even the smallest amount of additional support can make a significant difference. To ensure your well-being, we offer an advanced lump-sum payout equivalent to 10% of your Sum Assured, up to a maximum claimable limit of S$25,000, in the event that you require Angioplasty & Other Invasive Treatments for Coronary Artery.
If the Life Assured undergoes Angioplasty & Other Invasive Treatment for Coronary Artery, Singapore Life Ltd. will provide a payment equal to 10% of the Sum Assured (subject to the maximum claimable limit of S$25,000) and reduce the Sum Assured by the same amount. It’s important to note that Singapore Life Ltd. will only make a single payment for Angioplasty & Other Invasive Treatment for Coronary Artery, and this benefit serves as an early payout of the Death Benefit. All other benefits for the Life Assured will continue to be payable based on the prevailing Sum Assured following Singapore Life Ltd.’s payment for Angioplasty & Other Invasive Treatment for Coronary Artery.
