  • Loan Facility: Contributors are entitled to a loan under their policy after completing half of the chosen term.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Rather than an everyday transactional account, our OSUSU acts as a structured term-savings insurance product designed to mature with a guaranteed payout.

Grace periods are structured into the policy, however, maintaining a regular saving cadence is necessary to ensure you receive the maximum payout on maturity.
