What is Life Savings Insurance?

Benefits of Life Savings Insurance 

The benefit of Life Savings Insurance Cover with BDCU means that your nominee, as chosen by you on your Nomination Form, could receive a financial sum, up to a maximum of €5,000, in the event of your death, subject to policy terms and conditions.
