By selling your endowment/whole life policy, you will lose all the life insurance cover that the policy offers – you will be giving up the rights to any payment from life insurance company and therefore, you may be underinsured.

If you would still like to review your life insurance cover we recommend that you speak to your adviser or our recommended Independent Financial Adviser.

We base our offer on the policy information supplied to us. The surrender value provided by your life insurance company may fluctuate before the transaction date. If upon checking the details we find that the information provided is incorrect or has changed significantly, we reserve the right to revise the offer or withdraw from the purchase.

What happens if a premium gets debited from my bank account after accepting the offer?2020-02-19T23:26:16+08:00

Ultimately it is your responsibility to ensure all premium deduction are cancelled with your financial institution and with the life insurance company at the date that you accept the offer.

You will submit a form to terminate the Giro link on the transaction date if it wasn’t done. If there is any premium deduction on your bank account as a result of processing delay we will refund the additional premiums paid.
