TOKYO, Japan - August 16, 2019 - ORIX Life Insurance Corporation (“ORIX Life”) announced that it will release three simplified issue insurance products on October 2, 2019: term insurance “FINE Support Plus”, whole life insurance “RISE Support Plus”, and medical insurance “CURE Support Plus”.(*1)

ORIX has developed the term insurance “FINE Support Plus” designed for persons in the prime of life who have chronic diseases to ensure security in a rational manner in case of an emergency. There are cases where those who have chronic diseases must pay higher insurance premiums when making an application or may not enter into a contract for insurance. ORIX Life has made the product easier for customers to purchase by keeping premiums relatively low as a term insurance without cash surrender value and simplifying acceptance standards by limiting the number of items to be disclosed.

The whole life insurance “RISE Support Plus” and the medical insurance “CURE Support Plus” are products developed by updating “New RISE Support” and “New CURE Support”,(*2) which had become popular. The previous products paid half of the insurance amount within one year from the date of contract. For the newly released products, there is no period during which the insurance amount is reduced by half. (*3)
In addition, ORIX has developed the medical insurance “CURE Support Plus” to respond flexibly to the needs of customers by enabling riders(*4) to be added which reduce customers’ burden of various expenses when they are hospitalized and travel costs of attending hospital after they are discharged.

ORIX Life will provide people from those in the prime of life to the elderly with insurance in accordance with their lifestyles, and support them so that they can live actively in the “100-year life” period.
Going forward, ORIX Life will work on product development based on the concepts of “Products that are simple and easy to understand” and “Providing rational insurance at a reasonable price” and will strive to be an insurance company chosen by many customers.
