Life Savings Insurance Calculation Guidelines

The amount insured will depend on your age at date of death and how much you saved with Westport Credit Union over the years.

As a guideline

Every €1 you save up to €3,000 with Westport Credit Union provides the following insurance benefit:

Shares lodged up to your 55th Birthday or lowest balance thereafter – €1 per €1 saved

Shared lodged from your 55th to your 59th Birthday or lowest balance thereafter – 75c per €1 saved

Shared lodged from your 60th to your 64th Birthday or lowest balance thereafter – 50c per €1 saved

Shared lodged from your 65th to your 69th Birthday or lowest balance thereafter – 25c per €1 saved

Shares lodged from your 70th Birthday onwards – NIL

Withdrawal of Shares will impact on the amount of Life Insurance Cover received. Where possible, we would encourage members aged 55 years and over to borrow on the strength of their savings and not to withdraw from Shares.

We are open to people who live or work in the Credit Union’s postcode area.

The Mission of the Credit Union is to promote the financial well being of its members.
