Life Savings Insurance
Omagh Credit Union covers members savings at no direct cost to the member with Life Savings Insurance. This very worthwhile insurance cover is in place to encourage members to save regularly. It rewards eligible members for saving with the credit union. It is designed to protect members while they save, and in the unfortunate event of a member’s death, it can pay a benefit to the person(s) nominated by the deceased member. This insurance applies to a maximum savings value of £15,000.
Up to the age of 55 years old, every £1 saved earns 100% cover, and in the event of your death, payout will be doubled e.g. if the savings balance at date of death (before 55th birthday) is £3,000, payout will be £6,000.
The criteria for Life Savings cover is as follows:
- £1 saved before 55th birthday = £1 of Insurance: (100% cover)
- £1 saved between age 55-59 = 75p of Insurance: (75% cover)
- £1 saved between age 60-64 = 50p of Insurance: (50% cover)
- £1 saved between age 65-69 = 25p of Insurance: (25% cover)
- No Insurance paid on amounts saved after 70th birthday
Loan Protection Insurance
In Omagh Credit Union, the outstanding loan balances of eligible members are automatically insured at no direct cost to the member. This means that the outstanding loan balance will be paid in full in the event of the member’s death. It is a valuable benefit which gives credit union borrowers peace of mind when they borrow. Members can take out a credit union loan in the full confidence that their dependents will not have to repay the loan on their demise.
Loan Protection Insurance is payable subject to policy terms and conditions.
- The insurance benefit payable is the amount of the member’s outstanding loan balance
- Cover ceases on the member’s 85th birthday
