Credit Protection Insurance

Loans That Don't Outlive The Borrower

A loan should never become a burden your family has to inherit. Credit protection (also called Credit Life) pays off the outstanding balance of a mortgage, personal loan, asset-finance loan or co-operative loan if the borrower dies or becomes permanently disabled. We arrange individual policies and scheme-level credit life for banks, co-operatives and microfinance institutions.

What's Covered

Coverage that pays out when it matters

Every credit protection insurance policy we place includes the following as standard. Optional extensions are available depending on your risk profile.

  • Death of the borrower — full outstanding balance
  • Permanent total disability
  • Critical illness (optional rider)
  • Retrenchment / involuntary job loss (optional)
  • Mortgage protection and asset-finance protection
  • Co-operative and microfinance group schemes
  • Decreasing term structure that follows loan balance

FAQ

Quick answers

Isn't credit life already bundled with my bank loan?+

Sometimes — but the bank's default cover is often expensive and thin. You usually have the right to shop for equivalent cover; we typically save borrowers a meaningful margin for the same or better protection.

Does retrenchment cover really pay out?+

Yes, subject to a waiting period (usually 90 days after cover starts) and proof of involuntary redundancy. Typically pays 6–12 monthly instalments while you find a new job.
