Once established, your policy remains active for a specified period (typically up to 40 years, depending on your circumstances). In the event of your passing during this period, a predetermined lump sum payment will be disbursed.

Payment Schedule

Upon approval of the claim, your beneficiaries will receive the lump sum payment. This financial assistance can support them in meeting essential financial obligations and other significant expenses.

It’s crucial to note that if you outlive the policy term, no payout will be issued, and your beneficiaries will not be able to make a claim after the policy has expired.
