What is RetireRite?
RetireRite is a mobile pension scheme that allows subscribed AirtelTigo customers to make monthly contributions towards their retirement with as low as GH¢ 1. The scheme comprises of a pension account and a savings account.
How does RetireRite work?
Once you register, all the contributions you make will be disbursed equally into the two accounts, i.e. the savings and the pension accounts.
With the savings account, you can withdraw up to 50% of your contributions six months after your initial deposit with the available interest.
If a customer decides to stop contributing, he or she can only access their pension funds at age 60; depending on the date of birth of the ID you used for the registration of the SIM card.
Should in case of a customer pass away, there’s a life bonus cover to ensure that the beneficiaries of the deceased customer receive up to four times the total contributions made by the deceased in the previous calendar year.
Meaning, if the deceased made a total contribution of GH¢ 100 in the previous calendar year, the beneficiaries can receive up to GH¢ 400.
The most interesting thing about this package is that no matter your occupation you can still contribute every month with the little amount you have on you.
There’s no minimum age for registering but before you can subscribe to the AirtelTigo RetireRite, you need to be a subscribed customer on AirtelTigo Money.
