OCBC Bank: MaxTerm Value and PremierTerm Plus
What: MaxTerm Value and PremierTerm Plus are regular-premium term insurance plans.
They do not provide cash value at the end of the policy term and are a cost-effective solution for those who desire high protection coverage at affordable premiums.
Based on a 30-year tenure and the sum assured of $700,000 for a female non-smoker who will be 35 years old at her next birthday, the annual premium for the MaxTerm Value plan is $819 or $2.30 a day. The plan covers her against death, total and permanent disability, and terminal illness.
If the same insured person wants to buy an additional cover for 37 critical illnesses, she can buy a MaxTerm Value plan which will cost $2,569 yearly for 30 years.
The PremierTerm Plus plans are for individuals who want insurance coverage with a minimum of $1 million and above.
Both types of plans will cover policyholders up to age 85.
Ms Tan Siew Lee, OCBC Bank's head of wealth management Singapore, said the term plans offer customers the flexibility to meet their insurance coverage needs at very affordable premiums.
"These products are suitable for families with many financial commitments like mortgage and car loans, or even young executives joining the workforce - ensuring their savings are not wiped out, nor their families burdened, in the event something unfortunate happens," said Ms Tan.
