R-Vie Protect is a life insurance that combines protection and savings. You can make periodic payments to build up a capital for later in life or to protect your loved ones in the event of death. 

R-Vie Protect comes with a minimum term of 10 years and three personal protection options:

• Option 60: the minimum death capital guaranteed is 60% of the gross payments scheduled over the full term of the policy;
• Option 100: the minimum death capital guaranteed is 100% of the gross payments scheduled over the full term of the policy;
• Option 200: the minimum death capital guaranteed is 200% of the gross payments scheduled over the full term of the policy;

Benefits for you 

• You choose how often you want to pay in: monthly (min., EUR50), annually (min. EUR600) or a single premium. 
• Free choice of beneficiary 
• No withholding tax on the interest earned 
• Capital paid out on maturity exempt from income tax
• Choice of which solution suits you from our 3 options 

R-Vie Protect premiums are deductible up to the basic limit stipulated in article 111 L.I.R. (672 EUR/person). The minimum policy term is 10 years. 

To enable the deduction of the full annual premium in the case of a policy with monthly premiums in the first year, a single payment can be made in addition to the first monthly premium. 

Capital paid out on maturity exempt from income tax.

N.B. the total deductible amount covers all deductible insurance premiums plus interest expense on personal loans.
