Whole Life Insurance

In the US, a life insurance policy, with level premiums, which provides a stated benefit on the death of the life insured and a savings element which accumulates a cash value. The dividends or interest are allowed to build up tax-deferred. The insured is able to redeem the cash value or borrow against it in what is known as a policy loan. Any part of a loan which is unpaid at the death of the insured is deducted from the face value.
