  Family Finance Plan

  • An automatic 5% premium update to fight inflation
  • No medical examination
  • Optional cash bonus (savings plan)
  • Option of choosing an alternative premium payer after age 50 but before age 65, so the policy can continue without the up-front costs of starting a new policy of insurance
  • 8 days for you to review the policy once it commences, to ensure you are satisfied with your purchase
  • 10% of all premiums paid for this policy will be paid back every 5 years.
 
  1) What is an FFP policy and what needs does it cater for?  
 
The FFP is a risk product with ancillary benefits that are primarily designed to provide burial cover for Kenyans. The product also offers an avenue for savings through optional cash bonus ancillary benefit.
 
  2) What are the benefits of buying and FFP policy?  
 
  • Meets a specific need for unexpected expenses
  • Wide range of ages covered i.e. Unborn or newborn children, parents, parents-in-law, grandparents, extended family etc.
  • Affordable premiums
  • You can add savings if needed (ancillary)
  • After every 5 years 10% of your risk premium is credited to the policy's investment account.
  • No medical tests required
  • No HIV/AIDS exclusion after initial waiting period
  • No waiting period for accidental death
  • Life assured can transfer policy to another person covered under existing policy after attaining age 50 but before turning 65 years of age
  • You can take a policy advance of up to 75% of Cash Bonus investment value after three years
 
  3) When will an FFP policy mature?  
 
FFP policy does not have a term. As long as the policy is in force benefits relating to any dependant covered under the policy are payable. The policy will however cease when the life assured attains the age of 66 years and policy transfer has not been done. The beauty of the product is that the policy can be transferred after the life assured has attained age 50 but before age 65.
 
  4) What will be the value of my FFP policy at any one time?  
 
FFP can only acquire a value if the policyholder is paying for the cash bonus benefit. The cash bonus premium net of relevant expenses purchases units in a well managed unit linked fund and the value of the policy will be the value of the units under your policy at any given time.
 
  5) Can I add more dependants?.  
 
Yes. An endorsement can be done to that effect. Premiums for the new dependant(s) will be calculated based on age and cover will be subject to the six or twelve months waiting period based on the class of dependant added. The waiting period for the Life Assured and Spouse is 6 months, while that of all other dependants is twelve months.
 
  6) What is the Six or Twelve months waiting period?  
 

This refers to the period of six or twelve months following commencement/reinstatement of your policy. During this period only claims arising out of death from accidental causes are payable. After the six or twelve months all claims are payable subject to the policy terms and conditions.
 
  7) How much will I get if I withdraw today?  
 
For a pure risk FFP policy nothing is payable. However, for a policy with a cash bonus benefit, the cash value of the policy is payable subject to penalties of 25% and 12.5% if the policy is withdrawn within the 2nd and 3rd year respectively. After three consecutive years, the full cash value in the cash bonus account is payable. No benefit shall accrue if the policy is withdrawn in the 1st year.
 
  8) In case of a claim, what are the requirements?  
 
All you need to do is notify us through the nearest agency office. Our claim form will be issued to you for completion. You will be required to submit a certified copy of the burial permit, proof of age for the deceased (i.e. copy of national identity card, clinical or baptismal card) and the policy document. Upon receipt, claim will be assessed and paid within 48 hours.

  1) What is a Wealth Provider (WP) Policy?  
 
This is a unit linked life assurance policy with various ancillary benefits. Apart from building Savings for the future, the Policy also offers you an optional Life Cover and a compulsory Accidental Death and Personal Accident benefit.
 
  2) What will i get after paying for the full term of my WP pure savings policy?  
 
The total value of your units.
 
  3) On WP, is it tre that the policy will mature in three years?  
 
No. Currently the minimum term of our policies is five years. What happens is that in case you surrender the policy after three years you will get the current policy value less applicable penalties based on the period in force. Maintaining the policy up to maturity will however earn you more returns, as your contributions will be invested for a longer time period.
 
  4) Can i take a loan on my WP policy?  
 
After the third anniversary of t he policy. The cash loan is up to 75% of the value of your units.
 
  5) Can the savings in my WP policy be used for education?  
 
Yes. At maturity you can use the benefits paid for education. You can equally take advances to meet your education needs during the term of the policy.
 
  6) Can i add more beneficiaries?  
 
Yes. An endorsement can be done to that effect.
 
  7) Do you have other methods of premium payment other than through my employer?  
 
Yes. The alternative methods of premium payments include Bankers Order and Direct Debit Instructions. Premiums can also be paid via cheque or M-Pesa quarterly, half-yearly or yearly.
 
  8). When does policy cover commence?  
 
Upon receipt of the first premium.
 
  9) What is the six months waithing period?  
 
This refers to the period of six months following commencement/reinstatement of your policy. During this period only claims arising out of death from accidental causes are payable. After the six months all claims are payable subject to the policy terms and conditions.
 
  10) Can i transfer premiums from one policy to another?  
 
Every policy is a contract by itself. Thus different types of policies offer different benefits and are guided by different policy terms and conditions. Hence premiums meant for one policy cannot be transferred to another policy.
 
  11) What is the difference between units and shares?  
 
Shares are a right of ownership in a company. By holding shares, you own part of the company to the extent of your shares. Units on the other hand are part of ownership in a fund. Premiums received less the relevant expenses are remitted to our investment managers on a monthly basis where they purchase units at the ruling unit price. With time the unit linked fund earns returns, which are distributed to the participating units. As a result the unit price grows and that is how the value of your unit linked policy increases. Units can thus be seen as ownership in a unit-linked fund. A unit-linked policy however has other benefits that go with it and units can be withdrawn subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.
