    What is an Insurance Savings Plan and Do I Really Need One?

    Insurance Savings Plan is a savings plan, with insurance coverage, that provides you with a significant rate of return similar to a high-interest rate savings account.

    Insurance savings plans are flexible in their premium payments where you can choose a duration to spread out your premium payments (5 to 20 years), or pay in one lump-sum.

    The high returns are possible due to investments that the insurers use your premiums to fund.

    For Singtel Dash EasyEarn, GIGANTIQ, Singlife Account they are Insurance Savings Plans that are also Universal Life Insurance Plans.

    If you're looking for a place to park some funds or monies which you might be using in the short-term, it's not a bad idea to consider insurance savings plan if the rate of return exceeds what you can get elsewhere. The fact that you can also get some form of protection by buying an insurance savings plan is also a plus — but that's not enough though!

    What Is Universal Life Insurance?

    Universal Life insurance policies typically consist of 2 parts:

    • Savings - usually through investments done by the insurer with interests earned getting credited into your account
    • Insurance - in the form of death payout benefits.

    According to Tiq, their definition of Universal Life insurance is " a whole life insurance that offers flexibility in the amount and timing of premium payments. This plan pays a death benefit and allows the build-up of cash value through offering interest crediting rate."

    What differentiates Universal Life Insurance from Life insurance?

    Unlike regular whole life insurance, universal life insurance allows flexibility in premium payments. You do not need to pay a fixed amount, simply pay the minimum to keep your account and policy
