Universal Life FAQ
Universal Life gives you the flexibility and earning potential that no traditional product in the market can match. It allows you to make deposits to a fund deposits to a (CASH VALUE), which will pay for your insurance and earn monthly interest for your money at the same time! You don't have to worry about fixed premiums or scheduled premium due dates- you can pay any amount at your convenience and your policy will remain in force as long as you have enough fund to support your insurance. You can also design your own savings and insurance coverage by modifying your death benefit. And all these: interest, insurance cost, and other charges will be disclosed to you, so you know exactly how your money is allocated and how much it is earning.
Universal Life offers a whole life coverage until age 100.
Yes. The annual premium for your policy should be at least Ps.9,000.00.
Each Universal Life Policy comes with a built in fund called CASH VALUE where all your premium deposits are placed. All charges and insurance cost will be debited from this fund, and the fund balance is credited with interest every month.
Your initial coverage, called SPECIFIED AMOUNT, must be at least Ps. 300,000.00. You may decrease this amount by at most 20% once per year after the third year, as long as it does not go below the minimum specified amount shown in the policy schedule page.
You have two options (A or B) to choose from as far as Death Benefits are concerned. For Option A, your beneficiaries will receive the greater of the SPECIFIED AMOUNT or the CASH VALUE. For Option B, your beneficiaries will receive the SPECIFIED AMOUNT plus the CASH VALUE.
You may shift from one option to the next once a year.
Yes. You will still receive premium notices depending on the chosen mode of payment. But this serves only as a reminder that the proposed premium is such, and in no way constrains the premium flexibility and premium convenience built in the product.
The current annual interest rate is 4% and is credited as earned on a monthly basis. Though the interest rate is not guaranteed and may change from time to time, it will never be below the average credit to regular savings deposit of the top three banks in the Philippines.
If you surrender your policy, we will give you the NET SURRENDER VALUE of your policy. The NET SURRENDER VALUE is equal to the CASH VALUE less any loans and surrender charges. Surrender charges apply only to policies withdrawn within the first 15 years.
Yes. Withdrawals can be made from the CASH VALUE after the first year. The amount of withdrawal may be up to 10% of the NET SURRENDER VALUE.
Yes. Loans can be made from the CASH VALUE after the first year. The loan amount should be less than the NET SURRENDER VALUE and interest from loans are advanced.
You will be sent an ANNUAL REPORT every policy anniversary. This will disclose all necessary information on your policy and fund, including balance, interest, charges, loans and withdrawals made. You may also visit or call Paramount Life and Gen. Insurance Corporation’s Head Office for an update. A request for a printed copy at any time other than the policy anniversary will be charged a nominal fee.
Payment Options for Universal Life are the same with our other Individual Insurance Plans.
As long as your NET SURRENDER VALUE can cover the charges due, your policy will remain in force. Further, your policy has a conditional No Lapse Guarantee.
The No Lapse Guarantee assures you that your policy will remain in force until the No Lapse Date if certain conditions are met.
Within five years after the policy issue, the No Lapse Guarantee will be applicable if your total deposits to the fund (less any loans and withdrawals and disregarding interest) is at least equal to your Minimum Monthly Guaranteed Premium (MMGP) times the number of months since issue.
Your Minimum Monthly Guaranteed Premium (MMGP) is determined by Paramount Life based on your premium, risk classification, and rider attachments. The MMGP is used in determining whether the No Lapse Guarantee will be applicable. Your premium notice will be at least equal to your MMGP.
If your NET SURRENDER VALUE cannot cover the charges due and the No Lapse Guarantee is not applicable, then you will be notified and given a 61-day Grace Period in which to deposit an amount necessary to keep your policy in force.
If your NET SURRENDER VALUE cannot cover the charges due and the No Lapse Guarantee is not applicable, then you will be notified and given a 61-day Grace Period in which to deposit an amount necessary to keep your policy in force.
Yes. A lapsed Universal Life Policy can be reinstated within five (5) years after the date of lapse.
Charges are deducted monthly from your CASH VALUE.
Since the Universal Life Policy is unbundled, the separate components that make up the monthly charges are shown. These include administrative charges, loading, cost of insurance, a one time issue charge any charges for decreases in the Specified Amount, and charges for rider attachments.
Aside from the Accidental Death Benefit and Waiver of Premium riders, you can attach other riders as additional insurance for your family. These include Other Insurance Rider for your spouse or siblings above 18 years of age, the Children’s Insurance Rider for your children of siblings aged 18 and below, and the Primary Insured Rider, as extra protection for yourself.
Universal Life and Prime Term with PDF are actually complimentary. The Universal Life Policy is structured to give long term benefits with higher pay-off in later years, while Prime Term with PDF, gives you liquidity for your immediate needs.
Note: Please refer to the actual insurance policy contract’s provisions for a full explanation of the benefits.
NON-LIFE INSURANCE FAQs
We have compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions below.
Can’t find the answer to your question? Contact us and we will be happy to help.
Motor Insurance FAQ
One insurance claim will probably not affect the rate but will surely increase / adjust the premium.
Several factors could influence why your rate changed between the time you received your quote and the time you decided to purchase the policy. If it’s been a few months since you received your quote, it’s possible that the rates will be revised, which could decrease or increse the price you pay for auto insurance. Inspection result could also affect the acceptance of coverage.
If you fail to pay your premium on time, your insurance company has the right - after providing you with the legally required notice - to cancel the policy. It is likely also that you will not be covered for any accident or loss that may happen in the course of the coverage.
As a general rule, motor insurance coverage actually follows the vehicle, not the driver. So if your car is involved in an accident, the car receives the full coverage provided by the insurance policy, regardless of who is driving.
