PRODUCT SUMMARY

Savings that adapt to people and plans.

International Assurance’s Corporate Savings Scheme (CSS) is a flexible, insurance-based group savings solution designed to help employers provide long-term financial benefits to employees outside the constraints of traditional pension arrangements.

 

The scheme offers a structured yet adaptable framework that supports employee retention, workforce mobility, and long-term savings accumulation within a compliant international structure.

 

The Corporate Savings Scheme allows employers and/or employees to make regular or periodic contributions, which are allocated to individually segregated employee accounts under a single umbrella policy. Each employee’s savings are tracked independently and invested in line with predefined investment options selected with the support of the appointed advisor, subject to scheme rules.

 

Designed for employers, the scheme supports portability and continuity, enabling employees to retain their accumulated savings when changing roles, employers, or jurisdictions, subject to scheme terms. Employer participation is optional and flexible, allowing employers to contribute alongside, or in addition to, employee contributions as part of a broader remuneration or retention strategy.

 

The Corporate Savings Scheme operates within International Assurance’s regulated insurance framework and Protected Cell Company (PCC) structure, providing legal asset segregation, regulatory oversight, and operational governance. Investment strategy, scheme rules, and oversight may be supported by a corporate-appointed trustee structure, ensuring transparency and alignment with employer objectives. Members benefit from secure online access to monitor account valuations, contributions, and performance.

 

Through its combination of structured savings, contribution flexibility, transparent cost design, and global portability, the Corporate Savings Scheme offers employers a practical and scalable solution for supporting long-term employee financial wellbeing across jurisdictions.
