A provident insurance package is particularly important for parents, families and couples that want to provide optimal protection for their loved ones. We recommend that you take out a provident insurance package if, for example, you are the main bread winner and you want to build up savings capital while also optimally protecting your family against risks. Our provident insurance package contains comprehensive risk cover along with a lump sum death benefit and pension for loss of earning capacity. 

The age at entry and final age applies to women and men:

Age at entry: 

• Pillar 3a: 18 to 55 years old 
• Pillar 3b: 0 to 65 years old 
  

Final age: 

• Pillar 3a: 65 years old, or 70 years old if the insured person remains in employment
• Pillar 3b: 75 years

Insurance coverage always starts on the first day of the month after the date on which you took out the insurance. For example, if you take out insurance on May 20, you will be protected as of June 1. Unless, of course, you request a different start date. You can choose to start insurance coverage at any point within three months of taking out the insurance. 

This depends on whether you’re taking out death benefits insurance as part of a pillar 3a or 3b account. If as part of pillar 3b, you can name anyone you like. This could be a cohabiting partner or even an organisation. 

Under pillar 3a, the beneficiaries are limited by law. There are statutory requirements that you have to comply with. The persons are beneficiaries in the order below:

• The spouse or registered partner
  
• The direct descendants and the persons for whose maintenance the deceased has made a considerable contribution; or the person who had lived with the deceased in the same household in a domestic partnership without interruption for the last five years; or the person who has a responsibility to provide financial support for one or more mutual children
• The parents
• The siblings
• The other heirs

When taking out this insurance, you will be able to choose from a range of different insurance plans to match your specific investment goals and preferences. 

• Tomorrow Invest: Tomorrow Invest plans come in two different versions: Tomorrow Invest 50 and Tomorrow Invest 100.

• Multi Index: Multi Index investment plans come with a range of options: the investment plans Multi Index 25, 50, 75 and 100, and the Opportunity investment plan. 

We will be happy to help you choose the right investment plan for you. 

You can pay your premiums monthly, quarterly, six-monthly or annually. You can easily and conveniently do so via direct debit, for example. Finance the premiums via an interest-bearing premium deposit account and benefit from attractive interest rates.

Yes, that is possible and depends on whether you’re taking out savings insurance as part of a pillar 3a or 3b account: 

Pillar 3a

• Premiums can be deducted from taxable income. 
• No wealth or capital gains taxes are payable during the term of the policy.
• The payment is taxable at a reduced rate.

Pillar 3b

• The premiums can be claimed as part of the deductions for insurance premiums in a tax return.
• Lump sums are tax-free.

You can terminate your policy from the second insurance year onwards, i.e. as soon as you have paid the premium for one full year. Any excess premiums paid will be reimbursed. Please note that if you cancel your insurance before three years have passed, you could lose money. That’s why we recommend that you cancel – if at all – after having the policy for at least three years. 

Surrender is essentially possible from the beginning of the contract. You must take the relevant conditions into account if you have chosen Pillar 3a insurance.
