	FEES AND EXPENSES			Location in Prospectus
Are There Charges for Early Withdrawal?	Yes. If You withdraw money from the Policy within 7 years following Your last purchase payment, You may be assessed a surrender charge (also called a Contingent Deferred Sales Load). The maximum surrender charge is 6% of the purchase payment withdrawn, and the charge decreases to 0% after 7 years or more. For example, if You make an early withdrawal, You could pay a surrender charge of up to $6,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater if there are taxes or tax penalties.			Charges, Fees and Deductions
Are There Transaction Charges?	Yes. In addition to surrender charges, You may be charged for other transactions under the Policy. These include: Transfer Fees: You may make up to 18 transfers per Policy Year without charge. After that, a $10 fee applies to each additional transfer. This fee is deducted from the amount transferred. Option and Service Fees: Transamerica reserves the right to impose reasonable fees for administrative expenses associated with processing certain options and services. These fees would be deducted from each use of the option or service during a Policy Year.			Summary Charges, Fees and Deductions
Are There Ongoing Fees and Expenses? (annual charges)	Yes. The table below describes the fees and expenses that You may pay each year, depending on the Investment Options and optional benefits You choose. Please refer to Your Policy specifications page for information about the specific fees You will pay each year based on the options You have elected.			Summary Charges, Fees and Deductions

	Because Your Policy is customizable, the choices You make affect how much You will pay. To help You understand the cost of owning Your Policy, the following table shows the lowest and highest cost You could pay each year based on current charges. This estimate assumes that You do not take withdrawals from the Policy, which could add surrender charges that substantially increase costs.

	RISKS			Location in Prospectus
Is There a Risk of Loss From Poor Performance?	Yes. An investor can lose money by investing in the Policy. The value of Your investment in the Variable Subaccounts is not guaranteed and will fluctuate based on the performance of the underlying Portfolios. If the Portfolios perform poorly, Your Policy value may decline, and You may receive less than Your original investment upon withdrawal, surrender, or annuitization.			Summary
Is This a Short-Term Investment?	No. This Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. It is designed for long-term retirement planning. Early withdrawals may result in significant charges and tax consequences.			Summary
What are the Risks Associated with Investment Options?	Investment in the Policy is subject to investment risk, including the risk of poor investment performance. The value of Your Policy can fluctuate and may increase or decrease depending on the performance of the Investment Options You select. These are tied to the performance of underlying mutual fund Portfolios. The value of Your investment in these Subaccounts will vary based on the investment experience of the selected Portfolios. There is no guarantee of principal or returns. Equity Portfolios may be subject to market volatility and company-specific risks. Fixed income Portfolios may be affected by interest rate changes, credit risk, and inflation. Money market Portfolios aim to preserve capital but may still be affected by liquidity and interest rate risks. International Portfolios may involve currency and geopolitical risks. Before investing, You should carefully review the available Investment Options, including the accompanying Portfolio prospectuses, to understand their objectives, fees, and risks. Your investment decisions should align with Your financial goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon			Summary The Portfolios Charges, Fees and Deductions
What are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company?	Any obligations under the Policy—including those related to the Fixed Account, guaranteed interest rates, and death benefits—are subject to the claims-paying ability of Transamerica. This means that if the company were to become insolvent, it may not be able to meet its obligations to policyholders. The financial strength of the Insurance Company is evaluated by independent rating agencies such as A.M. Best, Moody’s, and Standard & Poor’s. These ratings reflect the company’s ability to meet its insurance and annuity obligations but do not reflect the investment performance of the Variable Subaccounts. More information about Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (formerly Transamerica Life Insurance Company of New York), including our financial strength ratings, is available by visiting transamerica.com or by calling toll-free (800) 525-6205.

	RESTRICTIONS			Location in Prospectus
Are There Restrictions on the Investment Options?	Yes. There are restrictions that may limit the Investment Options You can choose and how You transfer Policy Value among them. Allocation Limit You may not allocate money to more than 18 Investment Options (including both Variable Subaccounts and the Fixed Account) over the life of the Policy. Each option that ever receives a transfer or premium allocation counts toward this limit. Transamerica may waive this limit in the future. Transfer Restrictions You may make up to 18 transfers per Policy Yearwithout charge. After that, a $10 fee applies per transfer. Transamerica reserves the right to modify, restrict, suspend or eliminate transfer privileges at any time and for any reason. Transamerica reserved the right to require that all transfer requests be made directly by the Owner (not by a third party). Transamerica reserves the right to require each transfer request to be submitted separately. These restrictions are intended to prevent excessive trading that could negatively impact Portfolio management and increase transaction costs. Substitution and Modification Rights Transamerica reserves the right to eliminate or substitute Portfolios available through the variable Subaccounts. This may occur if a Portfolio becomes unavailable or is deemed inappropriate for the Policy. Any such substitution would be subject to regulatory approval and advance notice to Policy Owners.			Transfers Premiums - Investment Option Limit The Portfolios - Addition, Deletion, or Substitution
Are There any Restrictions on Policy Benefits?	Yes. There are restrictions and limitations on certain benefits offered under the Policy. Death Benefit Restrictions: The death benefit is subject to age-based conditions. If you or a joint Owner die(s) before the Annuity Date, and both You and a joint Owner are less than age 85, the benefit is the greatest of the Policy Value, total premiums paid minus withdrawals and charges or the highest Policy Value on any Policy Anniversary before age 85, adjusted for subsequent premiums and withdrawals. If the Owner dies after age 85, the benefit is limited to the greater of the Policy Value or total premiums not previously withdrawn (less applicable charges). Withdrawals reduce the death benefit and may terminate certain benefits. Withdrawals exceeding the allowed amount may trigger contingent deferred sales loads and reduce the benefit by more than the amount withdrawn. Certain benefits, such as the Automatic Payout Option (APO), may terminate if there are insufficient funds in the Variable Account to support the scheduled withdrawals. Once terminated, the APO cannot be re-elected. Transamerica reserves the right to modify the Policy to comply with applicable tax laws or regulatory requirements. It may also reject changes to annuitants or beneficiaries if not in accordance with underwriting rules. Withdrawals that exceed specified limits may reduce the value of benefits or terminate them. For example, excessive withdrawals may reduce the death benefit by more than the amount withdrawn due to the way benefits are calculated.			Death Benefit Cash Withdrawals - Automatic Payout Option (APO)
	TAXES			Location in Prospectus
What Are the Policy’s Tax Implications?	You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of investing in this Policy and receiving purchase payments. The tax treatment of Your investment will depend on Your individual circumstances and whether the Policy is held within a tax-Qualified plan or IRA. There is no additional tax benefit to purchasing the Policy through a tax-Qualified plan or IRA, since these plans already provide tax deferral. Using a tax-deferred annuity within a tax-Qualified plan does not provide additional tax advantages. Withdrawals from the Policy are generally subject to ordinary income tax. If You take a withdrawal before age 59½, it may also be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty, unless an exception applies (e.g., death, disability, or substantially equal periodic payments). Death benefits paid under the Policy are generally taxable to the beneficiary as ordinary income.			Cash Withdrawals Federal Tax Matters
	CONFLICT OF INTEREST			Location in Prospectus
How Are Investment Professionals Compensated?	Some investment professionals may receive compensation for selling the Policy to investors. This compensation is typically paid as a commission based on a percentage of each premium, which may be up to 5.75%. In certain situations, broker-dealers and their representatives may receive marketing allowances, production bonuses, service fees, sales awards and meeting incentives as well as asset-based trailer commissions. Compensation may also include access to sales teams or management and marketing support. These payments are made to broker-dealers and are not deducted directly from the investor’s Policy Value. As a result, investment professionals may have a financial incentive to recommend this Policy over other investment products, which may influence their recommendations. Our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, LLC (“TCL”) (formerly referred to as Transamerica Securities Sales Corporation (TSSC)) is the principal underwriter and may share the revenue we earn on this Policy with Your investment professional’s firm.			Distribution of the Policy
Should I Exchange My Policy?	You should only exchange Your Policy if, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both Policies and considering any surrender charges, tax consequences, or other penalties for terminating Your existing Policy You determine that the new Policy is more beneficial for Your needs. Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to recommend that You exchange Your existing Policy for a new one. This incentive may arise from compensation they receive for selling the new Policy, such as commissions or other forms of compensation from the insurance company or its affiliates.

You should work with Your registered representative to decide which Subaccount(s) may be appropriate for You based on a thorough analysis of Your particular insurance needs, financial objective, investment goals, time horizons, and risk tolerance.

⁽²⁾ There can be no assurance that any money market Portfolio offered under this Policy will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share during extended periods of low interest rates, and partly as a result of Policy charges, the yield on the money market Subaccount may become extremely low and possibly negative.
