Singapore Term Life Insurance: Coverage, Claim, Cost-effective & more!
10 Key Things You Should Know

Term Life Insurance is a high-value, cost-effective insurance option—ideal for those who want high coverage at low cost.
Here are 10 essential points you should understand:

1. Pure Protection, No Cash Value

Term life insurance has no savings or investment component. Think of it like car insurance—if nothing happens, there’s no payout.
But during the coverage period, the leverage is extremely high—you’re using very little money to get a very large coverage.

2. How Are Premiums Calculated?

Your age, coverage amount, and coverage period affect the premium.
Younger = cheaper. Higher sum assured or longer term = slightly higher premium.

Example:
A 40-year-old non-smoking male with SGD 1,000,000 coverage until age 65 (35 years)
pays less than SGD 1,000 annually.

3. Critical Illness Riders Available

You can add Critical Illness (CI) coverage to your term plan.
This gives you a lump sum if you’re diagnosed with a serious illness and unable to work—providing broader protection for you and your family.

4. No Waiting Period — Coverage Starts Immediately

Once your policy is in force, you’re immediately protected, unlike some health insurance plans that have a waiting period.

5. Overseas Clients Can Apply Remotely

Mainland China clients do not need to fly to Singapore.
Everything can be done remotely with e-signatures, saving time and effort.

6. Healthy? No Medical Check-Up Needed

If you’re in good health when applying, most cases don’t require a medical exam — approval is fast and smooth.

7. Broad Coverage (Except Special Exclusions)

With the exception of rare exclusions (e.g., suicide within the first year),
most claims will be honoured according to policy terms, giving you peace of mind.

8. Simple Claim Process — No Need to Visit Singapore

In the event of a claim, you don’t have to be in Singapore.
Just submit the necessary documents and you can apply for payout smoothly.

9. Mainland China Bank Cards Accepted

If you hold a bank card from Mainland China, you can directly pay using credit card (Master / Visa card) for your Singapore term life premiums. It’s fast and convenient.
