LIFE SAVINGS INSURANCE COVER
Life Savings Insurance is the life insurance cover provided to Ballincollig Credit Union members as member benefit i.e. at no direct cost to you and as an incentive to save regularly. Life Savings Insurance is payable on the death of the eligible member, subject to policy terms and conditions.
The amount of insurance benefit to which a member is entitled is in proportion to the amount of savings the member has made during the term of membership and depends on the member’s age at the date of lodgement.
Amounts saved after the 70th birthday are not insured. However, cover built up before the 70th birthday remains in force after the 70th birthday as long as the savings are left in the credit union. Withdrawals may affect the amount of insurance payable in the event of a claim.
Some credit unions extend cover to include the “Accidental, Death and Dismemberment” Rider. Under this extension, the amount of the Life Savings claim is doubled if the member dies as the result of an accident. Also if the member loses a limb or sight as the result of an accident then a benefit may be paid to the member. The amount of the benefit is based on the savings that the member makes during the term of membership and the age that lodgements are made.
