While Singlife's Direct-Term Life plan is not as affordable compared to the average of similar DPI term life plans for most adults, it actually ends up being competitive for young adults under 30.

Singlife Whole Life

Due to its coverage multiplier, monthly income and premium waiver, it may be suitable for consumers looking for whole life insurance plans providing comprehensive income protection.

For instance, you have option to receive a monthly payout from your policy until you turn 99 years old. Furthermore, if you lose your job, your premiums will be put on hold and the interest waived for a one full year provided you have the cash value to cover the outstanding premiums.

You can also get up to 4 times your sum assured until age 65, 70 and 75 with the ability to increase your protection after key life events. If you want to top up your coverage, you can choose to add the Total and Permanent Disability Advance Cover IV rider, the Critical Illness Advance Cover V and the Early Critical Illness Advance Cover V. You can also get the premium waiver rider if you want the ability to stop paying premiums when you fall critically ill.
