Up to £10,000 of borrowings will be repaid in full by the insurance, provided the loan is under 5 years in duration.

Loans taken out after the members 80th birthday are not covered.

Savings

Maximum savings coverage: £7,500. Up to double this is payable to the named beneficiary on death.

If the age of the member at the time of the deposit was between:

16 and 64 then 100% of the deposit is eligible for coverage.
65 and 79 then 25% of the deposit is eligible for coverage

Deposits from members over the age of 80 are not covered. Here are some examples:

A_ member pays in £5,000 and stops on their 60th birthday. £10,000 is payable on death._

A member pays in £5,000 until they are 65. After their 65th birthday they pay in another £4,000. The £5k is covered 100% and the £4k 25% (or £1,000) so the pay out would be £6,000
