If the Life Insured passes away while the Policy is in force, there are two options for how the Beneficiaries can receive the Death Benefit:

 

Option 1: Receive a lump-sum payment

Option 2: Receive the remaining annuity income[2]

How it's paid

The beneficiaries will receive the Death Benefit in a lump-sum payment.

The beneficiaries will receive the unpaid Monthly Guaranteed Annuity Income[2] in cash during the Annuity Period[4].

Policy status

The policy will be terminated after the payment is made.

The policy will remain in force until it ends.

Please note:

  • To receive the remaining annuity income as monthly income[2], the Policyholder must provide written instructions, which we must accept and record while the Life Insured is alive.
  • The beneficiaries can't change the Death Benefit payout instruction set by the Policyholder, and they can't surrender the policy.

This is an additional one-off payment on top of the Death Benefit[3].

We'll pay this Accidental Death Benefit[10] if the Life Insured passes away due to an accident before the end of the 5th policy year. The Beneficiaries designated in the policy will receive 10% of the total premiums paid[6] up to the Life Insured's date of death, after deducting any outstanding debt.

Once this benefit has been paid to the beneficiaries, the policy will be terminated.

Please note, for death to be considered an "accidental death", it must happen within 90 days of the accident.

This depends on the Policy Currency.

HKD policy

You can only pay your premium in HKD.

USD policy

You can choose to pay your premium in either HKD or USD:

  • If you pay in USD: You'll need to pay from your Hang Seng USD account
  • If you pay in HKD: We'll convert your payment using the exchange rate on the date of payment.

Please note, this exchange rate is subject to market fluctuations, so the HKD amount you pay for a USD policy each time may vary.

This depends on the Policy Currency.

  • HKD policy: You can only receive your Monthly Guaranteed Annuity Income[2] in HKD
  • USD policy: You can choose to receive your Monthly Guaranteed Annuity Income[2] in either HKD or USD

 

Your Monthly Guaranteed Annuity Income[2] will be deposited directly into your bank account. If your bank account is in a different currency than the policy currency, Hang Seng Bank will automatically convert the payment for you using the exchange rate on the payment date.

Assuming your Monthly Guaranteed Annuity Income[2] is HKD1,000, here's how you'll get paid:

  • In the 1st policy month: You won’t receive any payment
  • In the 2nd policy month: You'll receive a lump sum of HKD2,000 at the Monthiversary
  • Starting from the 3rd policy month: You'll receive HKD1,000 every Monthiversary

Your Monthly Guaranteed Annuity Income[2] will be deposited directly into your bank account. If your bank account is in a different currency than the policy currency, Hang Seng Bank will automatically convert the payment for you using the exchange rate on the payment date.

The internal rate of return[1] ("IRR") is a method used to calculate returns. "Internal" means it only considers relevant cash flows, including invested capital (e.g.  premium), withdrawn amounts (e.g. annuity incomes), and the time factor. External factors (e.g. inflation rate) aren't taken into account.

Currently, SteadyPay Guaranteed Annuity Insurance Plan is only available on Hang Seng Mobile App.

This plan only provides Monthly Guaranteed Annuity income[2]. You'll start receiving these payments each month, beginning from the 2nd Monthiversary of the policy. It's not possible to receive the income annually or to leave it in the policy to accumulate interest.

To help you understand your returns, the annuity payout rate[7] shows the yearly guaranteed income you’ll receive as a percentage of the total premium you paid.

We use this formula to calculate it:
(Monthly Guaranteed Annuity Income[2] × 12) ÷ Total premium × 100%

For example, if your plan has the following details:

  • Total premium: HKD1,000,000
  • Monthly Guaranteed Annuity Income[2]: HKD9,325

Your annuity payout rate[7] is:

(9,325 x 12) ÷ 1,000,000 × 100% = 11.2%[9] (rounded to one decimal place).

SteadyPay Guaranteed Annuity Insurance Plan is not a Qualifying Deferred Annuity Policy ("QDAP") and is not eligible for any tax deduction.
