Accidental Death Benefit
If the insured, who is the person protected under the policy, passes away due to an accident within 180 days after the date of the accident, Secure First will pay a lump sum amount as the Accidental Death Benefit to the person whom you select in your policy as beneficiary. The Accidental Death Benefit payable is equal to the Current Sum Assured.
Current Sum Assured means the protection amount left after deduction of all payments made for Accidental Dismemberment Benefit and / or Permanent Total Disability Benefit from the sum assured.
Accidental Dismemberment Benefit
We will pay a lump sum cash benefit according to the Benefits Schedule for Accidental Dismemberment Benefit in the unfortunate event that the insured sustains an injury due to accident which results in any loss as shown in the benefits schedule within 180 days after the accident. Upon the payment of the benefit, the Current Sum Assured and the premium thereafter will be reduced accordingly.
Permanent Total Disability Benefit
After permanent total disability has continued for 12 consecutive months, the insured will receive a monthly payment equal to 1% of the Current Sum Assured beginning from the 13th month and continuing up to 100 months (while disability continues), and the premium will be waived during this period.
Upon payment of the benefit, the Current Sum Assured and the premium thereafter will be reduced accordingly.
Double Indemnity Benefit
In the unfortunate event of the insured’s death, dismemberment or permanent total disability due to an accident related to any of the following, we will double the compensation paid for Accidental Death Benefit, Accidental Dismemberment Benefit or Permanent Total Disability Benefit (as the case may be) where, at the time of the accident, the insured was:
- a fare paying passenger traveling on commercially licensed public land transportation over established routes, e.g. bus, tram or train. A taxi or any form of transport chartered for private travel is excluded
- riding in a passenger-carrying elevator, excluding elevators of a mine or construction site
- injured in fire in a theatre, public auditorium, hotel, school or hospital

Key Product Risks
- You should pay premium(s) on time and according to the selected premium payment schedule. If you do not pay the premium within 31 days of the premium due date, the policy will be terminated and you / the insured will lose the cover.
- Should you surrender the policy early, you may receive an amount considerably less than the total amount of premiums paid.
- You may request for the termination of your policy by notifying us in written notice. Also, we will terminate your policy and you / the insured will lose the cover when one of the following happens:
•the insured passes away;
•the policy is surrendered;
•you do not pay the premium within 31 days of the due date;
•upon any payment of the Accidental Death Benefit; or
•aggregatepaymentsofthe Accidental Dismemberment Benefit and / or Permanent Total Disability Benefit have reached 100% of the sum assured. - We issue the policy and decide your premium based on the insured’s occupation class. You must immediately notify us of any change to the insured’s occupation, employment, duties and other pursuits once the policy becomes effective; following which, we will recalculate your premium and / or purchasable amount of benefits based on the new occupation class, and pay the claims accordingly. If the change to the insured’s occupation, employment, duties and other pursuits is one that is classified by the Company as not insurable, we will not be liable for any losses sustained pertaining to that occupation.
- We underwrite the plan and you are subject to our credit risk. If we are unable to satisfy the financial obligations of the policy, you may lose your premium paid and benefits.
- Your current planned benefit may not be sufficient to meet your future needs since the future cost of living may become higher than they are today due to inflation. Where the actual rate of inflation is higher than expected, you may receive less in real terms even if we meet all of our contractual obligations.
