TransFlexSM

TransFlex, from Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company, is a flexible premium deferred fixed annuity that accepts flexible premium payments as low as $50 per month. It is designed to accommodate new participants for existing group qualified1 retirement plans and for those who want flexible premium payments.

  • Minimum premium of $600 annually, $50 monthly, $150 quarterly, or $300 semi-annually for qualified1 and non-qualified funds. The maximum accumulated total premium accepted without prior approval from Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company is $1,000,000.
  • Guaranteed* 1.5% minimum interest rate.

  • A seven-year surrender charge schedule of 8%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, and 3% for each premium received. In Alabama, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington, the surrender charge period is based on the policy date rather than the premium date.
Policy Value Credit:
  • If at the time of any premium date or premium anniversary, the policy value is at least $10,000 but less than $25,000, then a current policy value credit rate of 0.15% applies to that entire premium bucket for 12 months.
  • If at the time of any premium date or premium anniversary, the policy value is more than $25,000, then a current policy value credit rate of 0.25% applies to that entire premium bucket for 12 months.

  • Beginning in the second policy year, up to 10% of the policy value (minimum $500) on the prior policy anniversary.

  • Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Options – Beginning in the second policy year, the owner or the owner's spouse (annuitant or annuitant's spouse if the owner is not a natural person) must have been confined to a hospital or nursing facility for 30 consecutive days, or is diagnosed as having a terminal condition and confinement begins or diagnosis is made on or after the policy date. Minimum distribution is lesser of policy value or $1000 (In New Jersey, the minimum distribution amount is $500 and this option is not available to the spouse of the owner or annuitant). Not available in all jurisdictions.
  • Systematic Payout Option (SPO) may start in the second policy year up to 10% of policy value on the prior anniversary date on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis. Minimum SPO amount is $50. Minimum SPO for NJ is $40 monthly.
  • Payment as a result of death.
  • Annuitization available after the third policy year (if income option is lifetime income or for a period of at least 60 months).
