Member Benefit Programmes

 

In addition to a number of optional “Peopl” Insurance Products, we offer three valuable insurance benefits at no direct charge to Members. The Credit Union take out a group Life Policy to mitigate these claims. These are as follows:

 

 

Life Savings Insurance

 

This scheme offers FREE LIFE INSURANCE relating to a Member’s Savings.
The main terms and conditions are:
  • Savings must be made, and maintained, in the Credit Union before the age of 71.
  • The maximum insured amount is €13,000.
  • No medical questions, however a pre-existing condition limitation (PCL) is in place for all savings made 6 months before death.
  • The benefit percentage changes as the member get older, please see below.
  • Members must leave their savings in their account or this might affect the benefits.

 

 

Example:  If, for example, a Member had the following savings in their Shares at their key birthdays and died at, say, age 75 they would get the following benefit:

 

 

The benefit is paid on the EXTRA amount saved between each birthday and the maximum benefit is paid on savings made before the age of 55 i.e.100%.

 

 

Life Savings Insurance

 

Where members are borrowing from the Credit Union, there is obviously the possibility that they may not completely repay the loan due to death.
In Blanchardstown & District Credit Union, the debt shall die with the debtor. This means you do not have the worry about leaving a debt for your next of kin.
Terms and conditions apply.

 

  • Members under 70 years can borrow a maximum of €70,000.
  • Members between 70 and 80 years can borrow up to €30,000.
