Recently someone claim she's from OCBC group offering me a EPF for director scheme. When I look at the plan, I found out that's already from Great Eastern and it sound almost like an insurance plan. The only different is that, I can deposit and withdraw money like a flexi loan.
May I know does anyone heard of a plan like that?

Say after I sign up with GE for an investment link and one week later regret my decision, can I cancel the plan? If I cancel the plan, is there any penalty fine? If there is, may I know how much is it?

QUOTE(roystevenung @ Jul 23 2014, 12:52 PM) If within a week, most probably the case is still under review by the Underwriters or in the midst of getting approved. You may call the agent to cancel and get full refund of the premiums paid. You may also call the Customer Service if the agent is being uncorporative about it. Thank you unker for the clarification QUOTE(ExpZero @ Jul 23 2014, 01:00 PM) Do you received the policy yet? You do have 15 days to cancel the policy with full refund. However, the key point before cancelling the insurance is you must know the reason you purchase and protecting yourself earlier.  Currently I have enough protection. Just that couple weeks ago I was approach by an agent with misleading information. I was told it was an EPF saving and she's reluctant to provide me with the proper sell sheet to read through until today when the doctor conducting the interview I took a peek at the policy number and call up the hotline and I was told it is an investment link policy, which is not what I wanted in the first place.

QUOTE(ExpZero @ Jul 24 2014, 11:10 AM) Financial underwriting is important to know that the life assured is not over-insured himself. Financial underwriting requirement for more than one million is only required a Financial Questionnaire Part 1, this questionnaire is to be completed by agent Okay, thank you for the clarification. I think the agent seem bit desperate for the sales. She ask whether I'm holding property, collecting rental, etc. I told her I have none of those. She then said chances of getting the case approve is low because I have non of those and ask is it alright she just tell the GE company that I have some. I thought, isn't it cheating?

QUOTE(ExpZero @ Jul 24 2014, 12:17 PM) However, do you really need the protection? What's the purpose of purchasing this insurance? Please identify your financial obligation shall you are looking for a large sum assured. I have enough protection. My mom is an agent before she retire and I have commit enough insurance with her before she retire. Just that couple weeks back I was approach by this agent who claim that she is from the EPF division under OCBC group, offering and alternative plan for company director. She does provide a side by side comparison between the financial return between her plan and what's currency offering by the EPF. Base on what's given, her plan could provide a projected yearly return of around 15% on average for past few years and on top of that, whoever sign up the plan will be given life protection of up to a certain limit. She also claim that this plan is only open for company director and also only their team is allow to sell/market this plan. Only until yesterday I discovered what I really signing up for is not any EPF product but an investment link by GE.
