Loan Protection Insurance

Protect your loan against unforeseen events.

Having your loan repaid in the event of your death means your family won't have to worry about the repayments themselves. They'll have enough to deal with as it is.

We can also help cover your loan repayments if you are unfit to work or if you've been made bankrupt.

Claims are processed quickly and premiums reduce each month as your loan balance reduces.

Cover can be applied for at the time of signing up for your personal loan, so talk to your lending consultant about which covers may be right for you. Cover is optional and subject to underwriting. If you have any questions, please contact us.
