What the model covers

  • A fixed lump sum if the policyholder dies during the 20-year term
  • Terminal illness in the final years of the story
  • Premiums that never change during the term

What it does not cover

  • Anything after the term ends, when cover simply stops
  • Claims within the first year for undisclosed conditions
  • Any real person, because nobody is insured

A claim is paid less the excess, never more than the cover limit. No real policy, claim or insurer exists behind this page.

Meet your next imaginary account

The purpose of Squirrel Life Cover is leaving the story family with a fixed sum rather than a fixed problem. Start with the access rules, then compare the cost or return with your story’s timescale. A higher headline figure does not make a locked account suitable for an immediate bill, and a reward percentage is not the same as an interest rate.

What the example does not promise

All figures are invented and shown to make the demo useful to read and crawl. No money is held, no application is available, and no deposit-protection, regulatory or tax-wrapper status is claimed. Calculations do not account for personal tax, inflation or unstated changes in rates. The fictional bank manager can guarantee only that the next paragraph contains no real acorns.
