Cash-value life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that combines a death benefit with savings that accumulate over time. Unlike term insurance, it is designed to provide lifelong coverage. Policyholders can access the cash value while they’re alive by withdrawing funds, borrowing against the policy, or surrendering it for cash. The value can also be used to purchase an annuity.
