However, if the total value of the loan plus accrued interest is higher than the cash value, the policy will be immediately terminated.
- Surrendering the policy is to stop paying premiums and request a refund of cash value back. With this option, you will get a lump sum of money back (equal to the total cash value available in the policy), which, upon policy surrender, the life insurance contract will be immediately terminated.
- Converting the policy to a paid-up policy, which means stopping the payment of insurance premiums and asking to exercise the right that allows the policy to continue to provide protection until the end of the contract as before, and when the contract expires, you will receive a sum of maturity benefit. However, the value of life protection and the maturity benefit that will be received may be reduced from the original.
