Individual Life Products
Educational Endowment Plan
This plan provides for payment of the maturity benefit on the policy whether the life assured i.e. the parent, be alive or not at that time. Premiums are based on the age of the premium payer (or the parent) but not the child.
The policyholder (parent of the child) chooses the amount of basic maturity benefit that they require which is paid at the end of the policy plus any bonuses that have accrued over the premium paying term of the policy.
With this policy, your child’s financial needs are catered for in a single policy at all times. When your child’s policy reaches maturity e.g. after 5, 10, 15 or 20 years he or she qualifies for a wide range of benefits such as money to pay for school or University fees or a jump start in your child’s life/future in form of starting capital.
If the policyholder (the parent of the child) dies before the policy matures, the policy continues to be in force and the full maturity benefit will be payable to the child at maturity date. If the child dies during the term of the policy, another child may be nominated as a beneficiary, or premiums will be refundable.
The policy may also be supplemented optionally with the child’s income benefit to provide income to the child in the event of death of Life assured (the parent) prematurely. This policy may be held jointly.
Mortgage Care Plan
This a Mortgage Protection policy aimed at providing protection of the property and financial security to the borrowers and lenders.
A mortgage is an interest acquired by the creditor/lender in say a house or other property as a form of security/collateral offered by a debtor/borrower for repayment of a debt. If a vital event of death occurs to the debtor/borrower, then the property is put to sale in order to recover the outstanding balances. This is prejudicial to the debtor’s/borrower’s spouse or dependants who would have lost the mortgaged house or property and it would somewhat tarnish the creditor’s/lender’s reputation. As far as the creditor is concerned, he has to have financial interest in the borrower. That financial interest is insurable so that if the borrower died before full repayment of the money, the proceeds of the insurance policy would defray the outstanding balance. The deceased borrower’s spouse or dependants would be happy to remain with the mortgaged house or property and the creditor would avoid their wrath, as he would have not sold the property to recover the outstanding balance.
In order to facilitate the above, it is advisable for the borrower to pursue a mortgage protection assurance policy from a reputable organization like National Insurance Corporation. This policy may be a long- term contract running as long as 5 to 20 years. It is issued on a decreasing term basis since the sums assured or the monies lent are expected to progressively fall as the client repays the loan.

*Pays the outstanding balance of the loan in event of death and total permanent disability
