Receive policy payout
A policy maturity payout is a lump sum payment you will receive when your policy reaches its expiration date (also known as maturity date). For instance, if your insurance policy has a 10-year term, you will get a payout at the end of 10 years.
Now, you can reinvest your maturity proceeds with us at an attractive monthly interest rate and no lock-in period via a single premium non-participating universal life insurance plan – GREAT Flexi Saver.
Reinvest your maturity proceeds on selected Great Eastern policies to enjoy attractive rewards. Contact your Great Eastern Financial Representative to find out more.
As we move towards a cheque-free Singapore, we are going digital for all our payment transactions.

Questions and Answers
If you have a local bank account, you will receive your funds in your designated bank account on the following day after the policy due date.
If you do not have a local bank account, you will receive your funds via telegraphic transfer or bank draft within 1 week after your identity has been verified via the telephone.
No, you will continue to receive your current payout via direct credit.
If you wish to update the arrangement, you can complete the Authorisation for PayNow / Direct Credit form for us to update your record accordingly.
Non-Singaporeans need to provide a copy of their bank statement/passbook/e-statement showing your full name and account number only (with transaction and other details blanked out) for verification. The funds would be credited into this bank account.
If you had previously provided instructions on your preferred mode of payment, subsequent payouts will be made to you based on the instructions given. Otherwise, we will write to you regarding upcoming payouts due to you and the available payment options before the due date. If you have further queries, you can contact our customer service regarding your payouts.
You may indicate your preferred mode in your written request. Other modes of payment that we provide are:
- Direct credit into your bank account: Complete the Authorisation for PayNow / Direct Credit form and submit it to us at least 1 month before the payment due date.
- Telegraphic transfer or bank draft: If you do not have any bank account in Singapore, you can complete the Instructions on Payment (Overseas Customer) form and submit it to us at least 1 month before the payment due date.
- You should also expect to receive an identity authentication telephone call within 5 working days of the form submission.
- Cheque: As at 1 November 2023, several banks in Singapore have started charging for the use of Singapore Dollar cheques. Other banks will do so by 1 July 2024. As such, we encourage you to register for PayNow, if you have not already done so, to receive your payout in a timely manner.
