Featured story

Saving is the first step to keeping your promise

“On my way to becoming a professional singer, I was determined to keep a promise I made to my mum – to inspire others with my music. So I scrimped, saved and travelled the world, busking wherever I went and touching the lives of those who heard me. Thanks to HSBC FirstSave, these days it's easier to save, so we can all achieve the goals we have for tomorrow." Kimman Wong – Singer-songwriter and TV host

Endnote

  1. The maturity benefit (that is, the amount you will get at the end of the policy term) is a rounded-down percentage of the guaranteed cash value divided by the total amount of premiums paid at maturity. Returns vary by your chosen premium mode and you can refer to the product brochure for more details.
  2. The aggregate premium payment option allows you to prepay the required premiums and it is currently not available for online applications. The required annual premium will then be deducted from the balance of the prepaid premiums account on the relevant premium due dates. Please be aware that if you choose this payment option, you should ensure that you can afford to leave your prepaid premiums in your policy, as no withdrawal from the balance of the prepaid premiums together with interests accumulated is allowed once paid except in the event of death or surrender of your policy. You are therefore advised to choose a premium payment method that best fits your financial circumstances at the time of application and enquire at branches if you are considering to pay using the aggregate premium payment option.
  3. Additional accidental death benefit will terminate at the end of the policy term, on the policy anniversary at which the life insured is aged5 80 or when said benefit is paid (whichever is earliest).
  4. Terminal illness benefit will terminate at the end of the policy term, on the policy anniversary at which the life insured is aged5 65 or when said benefit is paid (whichever is earliest).
  5. Age means the age of the life insured or policyholder on his or her next birthday.
  6. The unemployment benefit is applicable to any policyholder aged5 between 19 and 64 who holds a Hong Kong Identity card. It is not applicable if you choose to prepay the required premiums2. The benefit will terminate on the policy anniversary at which the policyholder attains the age5 of 65 years, all due premiums have been paid or your policy is terminated (whichever is the earliest).

The above information is intended as a general summary. Please refer to the Policy Provisions for exact terms and conditions and details of the exclusions.
