Policy Servicing

Servicing your policy

Your Insurance Policy is a long-term investment. To get the best out of your policy, we suggest you: 

Pay your premium promptly

Late payments may cause your policy to lapse, so remember to pay your premiums promptly whether or not you receive a premium notice from us. Once your policy lapses:

• Your policy would no longer be valid should a claim arise.
• You would have to declare your health in order to reinstate it.
• There will be interest imposed.
• You may not be able to get your policy restored if your health has deteriorated.

Keep in touch with your Financial Representative

Your Financial Representative can service your policy needs and advise you on any policy changes or company development. If you do not know your Financial Representative, call our Customer Service Officers at 1800-248 2888.

Keep us informed of any Personal Updates

If there are any changes in your personal particulars (such as a new address), you can update us via e-Connect. Alternatively, you may download and complete our Update of Personal Particulars form and send it to us. If you need any kind of assistance with your policy, there are many ways you can get help. Click here for the various options.

Commonly Used Services

Over time, your policy^* will acquire a Cash Value. To meet your short-term financial needs, you can take a loan of up to 92% of the policy's cash value. However, it is important to continue to pay your premium every month after taking a policy loan. You should also pay off your loan as soon as possible. Otherwise, you will exhaust your cash value and your policy may run into Automatic Premium Loan (APL). For frequently asked questions on Policy Loan, click here. 

^* Depends on the type of policy. Some policies such as GreatLink, Term and CPF policies do not have cash value.
