What is credit life insurance?
CLI is cover that is added to your unsecured loans at time of application. (We do not cover secured loans i.e vehicles and bonds). This cover protects you in the event of death, disability, or retrenchment. Your debt continues to be paid when you have no income.
Who can get cover?
An applicant will be eligible for cover under this Policy if he/she is aged 18 (eighteen) at commencement, and his/her final credit agreement repayment date is at least 2 (two) months before he/she reaches the age of 65 (sixty five) years.
