The Golden Harvest is A unique, insured savings account specially designed for credit union members
. It allows persons to save a pre-determined amount each month towards a specific goal set by the saver. This target can be up to J$3 Million and the saving period up to 10 years.
One of the major benefits of the Golden Harvest is that the savings goal is insured. In the event of the member's death, their beneficiary will receive the amount they had set as their savings goal, no matter the amount they have already saved, provided that all the terms of the contract had been met by the member
. For example, if you contract to save to a goal of $200,000 and you die, your beneficiaries will recieve $200,000, even if you have only saved a portion of that goal.
Other features of the Golden Harvest are:
- No minimum savings goal
- Open to members aged 16 to 69
- Funds saved can be used as security for a loan
- The interest rate is fixed for the life of the contract
