The policy may use the same term, but the substance of what he can cover different. So when you buy an insurance product, do not just consider price alone. Read a good policy given that you do not feel cheated later.

Differences Education Savings and Insurance Education

Education savings accounts are generally sold by the bank, with backup by life insurance companies. So we can come to the banks who sold these educational savings, and we determine how much our target and how long the target would be achieved. Then the banks will determine how much monthly payment should be done with include the interest rate should be used during the contract period.
Generally, education savings is equipped with life insurance or other insurance. So when parents who experienced severe to deposit every month, such as dies, then the life insurance will replace him as the depositor. So the target of education fund established by parents who can still be enjoyed by children.

But Education Insurance generally purchased through an insurance company who offered by the agent. The customer will determine how much money after seeing the benefits of insurance coverage that will be paid. And insurance companies determine how much premiums that must be paid in a lump sum or on a regular basis, can be annual, could be six months, three months and even several months.

Insurance benefits which are generally offered a certain percentage of the sum insured and paid when the child would go to elementary, junior high school or college. And the benefits will still be paid even if the premium payer's parents as the unfortunate, for example, died.

Both education and insurance savings education both can be used as an alternative to prepare for our baby education fund. Education savings just to prepare at one point, for example, to enter elementary school, or junior high school.

If you want to complete such education insurance, then we have to buy 4 products of this education savings, with funds target and the achievement of different.

Tips : How to Choose Life and Health Insurance

Life Insurance and Health Insurance is required mainly for self-employed and informal workers who do not have health insurance from a company or government agency.
An entrepreneur like me when to ill or disabled because of an accident will have a lot of financial losses / financially because they have to bear the cost of treatment and can not work for a living. Another case if a person works in a company or become civil servants, they usually get health insurance that will bear the cost if the sick and fixed monthly salary is paid. (But not all companies provide decent health insurance too)


Before you decide what insurance products, from insurance companies which I highly recommend to compare different products, types of products from various insurance companies. Do not rush to buy insurance products without understanding clearly the rights and obligations if we join an insurance product.

Some tips from me to choose an insurance product:

* Determine the benefits of any protection we need
* Find information on insurance products fit our needs by collecting brochures from different companies or searching for information on the website of insurance companies
* Consult the dealer in more detail about the products until the detailed calculation of the overall allocation of funds that we are willing to pay for anything
* Do not believe what insurance agents say, because they do not necessarily understand well the products they offer.
* Have made illustrations benefits insurance products, premiums to be paid and the allocation of the premium paid it to anywhere
* Learn the content of the illustrations in the house with a relaxed and thoroughly, do not rush to conclusions, ask a better idea if there is not yet clear
* Compare products from various insurance companies, which provide the greatest benefit with the least expensive premium, but the info or find out whether the company can believe it or not
* Do not just based on the best insurance award from a magazine, but you should really know how to calculate the insurance costs
* Determine the insurance products of your choice after all you really understand
* After determining and deciding to buy an insurance product we will accept an insurance policy that contains a binding contract between the customer and the insurance company, learn again the contents of the policy, the customer usually within 14 days given the opportunity to cancel the policy.

That was a few tips from me so you do not regret one day if you buy an insurance product without understanding fully the rights, obligations and comparisons with other products.

One more suggestion I was a customer who never fooled with any insurance product, "Do not buy Life and Health Unit Link associated with investment". Believe cut unit-linked products is very expensive, you better go pure life and health insurance and invest the money into mutual funds separately.

In the next article I will try to give detailed calculation of unit-linked insurance that actually drain money customers, which makes insurance agents are now a lot of very rich by selling unit-linked insurance.

The Reason Life Insurance does not pay Claims


The reason life insurance does not pay claims

Feeling cheated by the insurance company because of your claim is denied? This article was created for customers and prospective customers know what can make your claim is denied and the avoidance of losses on the part of customers

Generally, the denial of insurance claims in because 






1. Dishonesty customer.

Many people realize the importance of insurance when already in jangkiti serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease, etc.. When customers fill up with honest SPAJ (Application for Life Insurance), a disease that is in misery, is certain to be rejected because the insurance company is not a charity.

If the customer claims due to accidents or other issues outside of his illness is, of course, a lie will not be revealed, but when there is a claim (illness / death) because the disease is, of course lie will be uncovered and the insurance company may refuse payment of claims.

2. Dishonesty agent.

Many agents simply chasing sales targets and commissions, so they are reluctant to describe at length about the products on offer, apart from being able to make the sales cycle becomes longer, too risky to buy off potential customers.

Even in some cases, agentlah that encourages customers to be dishonest. I have experienced myself when getting the prospective customer has a doctor diagnosed a fatal disease. Prospective customers have been rejected by some insurance companies, and only 1 company that received because agentnya advise not to include the diagnosis.

Dishonesty agent can also be in the form of promising something that is not listed in the policy. That's why customers should take the time to read policies and match them with the words of the seller agent. If there is not in the know, try to ask the seller agent. If the negative attitude so that you do not even try to understand the contents of the policy, then you need to question the motivation of these agents.

3. Because the exclusion in the policy

Many agents (which honestly though) negligent in explaining pengecualian2 contained in the policy. Described or not by the agent, read or not by customers, the exception remains valid, meaning that if your claim included in the exceptions, then do not be angry if your claim is denied. For those of you who already have an insurance policy, read and understand the existing pengecualian2 now, so you are not disappointed later.

4. Because insurance companies are not bona fide

Life insurance is a long-term contracts, in many cases, new claims came after many years as a customer. Therefore, choose a company that is trusted, and to facilitate you, every year as investors and InfoBank magazine published the rating of the insurer. Although the rating is not a guarantee, but at least help you to make decisions.
