RIAS Launches New Over 50s Life Plan
,
London, UK June 02, 2010 – Rising funeral costs reach 2,733
Over 50s specialist insurance provider RIAS has launched a new life assurance policy, the RIAS Over 50s Life Plan, providing guaranteed cover with a cash lump sum payable on death.
The plan, with monthly premiums starting from as little as 5 a month, enables over 50s to take the first step towards planning ahead for the future, leaving their loved ones with a valuable lump sum.
And with the average cost of a funeral having risen by 66% in just seven years to 2,7331, the RIAS Over 50s Life Plan could provide a welcome relief to family members left behind.
The RIAS Over 50s Life Plan, underwritten by sister company Fortis Life, will provide customers aged between 50 – 75 years old with guaranteed acceptance, without any medical questions to answer. In addition, the plan also offers the following benefits:
– Three times cash sum paid out if a customer dies accidentally within the first two years – which is unique in the market;
– One and a half times premiums back if the customer dies for other reasons in the first two years;
– Choice of premiums to suit all budgets and no payments required after 90th birthday;
- 10% extra with the Funeral Benefit option if using the proceeds of the plan to pay for funeral costs;
- Option to increase the cover every year to keep pace with inflation – premiums will increase too.
Janet Connor, Managing Director at RIAS comments:
“We understand that many people over 50 would like to leave money to their family or loved ones, but are concerned that they may not be able to in the current climate, with almost a fifth (18%) concentrating on paying off their mortgage or other debt2. With low monthly payments, and guaranteed acceptance without a medical, our new plan makes it really easy to leave something of value behind. It’s a good way to take care of funeral costs, any outstanding bills, or simply to leave money to loved ones.”
Martin Werth, Managing Director of Fortis Life UK adds: “We are delighted to have had the opportunity to work with such a strong consumer brand as RIAS to take our latest product to market. With RIAS’ in-depth understanding of the over 50s market and retail experience, coupled with our manufacturing capability, we have designed an exceptional customer proposition, which I’m confident will be a success.”

IDTELi, Inc. Launches New Division SecureMySocialNetworking.com to Protect Against Malware Attacks
,
Social networking sites are a wonderful entertaining and efficient way to stay connected to family, friends and colleagues. However, these sites are quickly becoming a Petri dish for socially engineered malware attacks. The bad guys see these sites as a ‘honey pot’ loaded with valuable information – information that can easily lead them to identities and access to funds once Trojans containing keylogging malware is cleverly installed on computers.
Members of social networking sites face the challenge of daily malware attacks. Few members know about them until it hits them or someone they know. Even fewer know how to protect themselves from a problem that is reported to be growing exponentially every year. Social networking sites offer little risk protection other than to generically advise members to be careful about clicking on links and to ensure anti-virus is installed and kept updated.
IDTELi, Inc. has stepped up the security game by offering social networking members a way to protect themselves with low cost encryption technology. The newly launched SecureMySocialNetworking website provides information on the many ways members can be attacked when online and how their low cost software provides a proactive protective layer of security.
If members get malware installed by innocently clicking on hidden attack code or if malware on their computers escapes anti-virus detection, the encryption software prevents the thieves from getting information as it’s being typed. This is how the thieves easily capture usernames, passwords and any sensitive information that can lead to identity theft and theft of money from bank accounts.
IDTELi, Inc. CEO Brenda Eaden states “The SecureMySocialNetworking.com encryption solution doesn’t stop these attacks. That is the job of anti-virus solutions even though it is reported AV stops on average 3% of known malware attacks. However, while security technologists are working judiciously at detection, removal or quarantining, consumers using social networking sites and all other websites are protected from having information they key in from being stolen when they are online. Prevention is always the best policy.”
IDTELi’s motto is “It’s time for consumers to take matters into their own hands to ‘prevent the preventable’ and not sit back and wait for companies to see security as a priority.” Protection of sensitive and private information, especially usernames and passwords should always start with owner responsibility. Those interested in self protection should visit SecureMySocialNetworking.com for more information on the soundest solution on the market.
