Life Savings Insurance Discounts - What’s This All About? By: Dean Iggo
Life savings insurance discounts can be acquired through a credit union, and are a level term life insurance. The credit union’s that offer this type of insurance plan do so in an attempt to encourage the saving of money and to have the participants keep it in the credit union.
While each credit union offers slight variations on the theme life savings insurance discounts can be availed of if you belong to a credit union that offers such a plan and if you are under the age of 70.
There are some other generally accepted standards that seem to be common to most of these discount plans although when seeking quotes it’s always a good idea to look into everything and make sure that you’re comparing apples to apples.
There is a set limit for which a participant can be insured. The amounts that I’ve seen varies from $4,000.00 to $5,000.00. In other words you can save as much as you want and get your account built up to whatever amount you choose but if the limit insured amount is set at $5,000.00 no matter how much your account exceeds that amount you will not be insured for the excess.
In other words, the amount of insurance paid out the time a claim is made is proportional to the amount of money in the savings account-up to the limit of the plan-and the age of the member who passed.
For those who are able to fulfill the requirements a credit union has set forth in order to join them this is a great way to acquire some life insurance. Credit unions offer competitive interest rates and as long as the criteria specific to the credit union are met, and by that I’m referring to the medical and working qualifications, it’s a fairly easy and reliable way to get some life insurance.

Term life insurance is the foundation of a protective life insurance policy. Basically, it is a financial safety net that you rent for a specified period of time. You pay a fixed premium towards a concrete payoff over that period of time.
