What does a savings account do? Ask yourself this question and the first thing that might come to mind is easy deposits and payments. However, that's not all you can do with a savings account. Today, savings accounts offer a range of benefits like
• Net banking
• Mobile banking facilities
• Zero-cost services
• Rewarding debit cards
and so on..
However, there are many more benefits that we usually may not be fully aware of.
Free personal accident insurance coverage is one such benefit that many savings accounts offer. Let’s understand the benefits of the cover.
Most savings accounts offer a debit card for cashless transactions, cash withdrawals and other uses. This debit card offers a range of benefits which might include a personal accident insurance cover. When you avail of the debit card, you automatically get insured under the coverage without paying any additional fee.
Personal accident insurance usually covers the following contingencies –
• Accidental death
• Total and permanent disablement suffered due to an accident. For example, loss of both legs, both hands, loss of sight in both eyes, etc.
In either of these instances, the cover pays a lump sum benefit. You or your family can use this lump sum benefit to compensate for the financial loss suffered due to these contingencies.
Besides being free, personal accident insurance offers multiple benefits, which are as follows –
Accident insurance provides financial security to the insured individual. If the breadwinner of a family passes away in an accident, the family suffers a considerable financial loss. By paying a lump sum benefit in such cases, the cover helps the family face financial distress.
Suffering a permanent and total disability might cause a job loss and even make the individual unfit to pursue gainful employment. This causes a loss of income which might cause a financial strain.
The personal accident insurance coverage pays a lump sum benefit for disabilities and eases financial difficulties.
By securing your finances against accidental contingencies, the personal accident cover gives you peace of mind.
Since personal accident insurance coverage is beneficial, look for savings accounts that offer the coverage for enjoying the benefits. Moreover, check the coverage level and pick the highest possible coverage available for maximum financial protection.
