Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Level Term and Decreasing Term Insurance?
Level Term Insurance: Your coverage amount is fixed over the policy term. Your family will receive a payout of the coverage amount if an unfortunate event happens to you.
Decreasing Term Insurance: Your coverage amount decreases at your chosen decreasing rate over the policy term. Your family will receive a decreased coverage amount if an unfortunate event happens to you.
For this reason, premiums for the decreasing term insurance are lower than that of the level term insurance.
What is the "Decreasing Rate" of this policy?
Decreasing rate for this policy refers to the rate at which the Coverage Amount decreases over your chosen Policy Term. This is typically chosen such that it is the same as the interest rate charged on your home loan. eDecreasingTerm offers a choice of interest rate - 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5%.
