~Procedure completed simply by paying unpaid premiums~

Jan 29, 2021

TOKYO, Japan - January 29, 2021 - ORIX Corporation (“ORIX”) announced today that ORIX Life Insurance Corporation (“ORIX Life”) will commence a lapsed policy revival scheme on February 1, 2021, allowing insurance coverage to remain effective for a certain period without notice even after the policy has lapsed*1.

Previously, the procedure for reinstating lapsed policies required policyholders to submit a notice in addition to paying unpaid premiums. With the introduction of the new scheme, lapsed policies will be revived without requiring the policyholders to give notice again as long as the unpaid premiums are paid by the end of the month following the end of the insurance premium payment grace period (“the allowable period for policy revival) *2.

Even insurance policies that have remained effective for a long period may lapse when the policyholders fall behind in premium payments due to temporary circumstances. The new scheme will be introduced to help policyholders to maintain their policies even in such cases.

ORIX Life will continue providing services that cater to customers’ needs as well as striving to be an insurance company that is trusted by customers.

*1 Lapsing of policies
Policies will lapse if insurance premiums are not paid within the following periods (the insurance premium payment grace periods).
・Policies with monthly payments: by the end of the month after the due date
・Policies with annual and semiannual payments: by the policy anniversary on a monthly basis in the second month after the due date

*2 Procedure (for reinstatement) to be taken when the allowable period for policy revival has lapsed
Submission of a notice is required. The reinstatement of policies may be rejected, depending on the content of the notice.
