Home loan protection
Get your instant, personalised bond protection insurance quote online—designed for your unique risk profile.
When applying for a bond, your bank may require additional protection (also known as credit life insurance) to safeguard your bond repayments. All the major banks in South Africa accept our bond protection solution.
What does bond protection insurance cover?
- Your outstanding bond amount in the event of critical illness, disability or death.
- Your monthly bond repayments for up to 12 months due to loss of income due to temporary disability or retrenchment.
Bond protection insurance for your home loan
What would happen if you couldn’t pay your bond repayments because you became disabled, critically ill, retrenched or died? Life can be unpredictable. Everything could be okay today, but there’s no guarantee it will be that way tomorrow.

Because we underwrite a tailor-made solution, based on your unique risk profile, you get to save on your insurance premium.

For qualifying occupations, we'll pay you a monthly income to cover up to 24 months' worth of monthly bond repayments if you're temporarily disabled because of bodily injury or illness to such an extent that you're unable to perform the main duties of your occupation on a total or partial basis; or if you're physically impaired or ill.
All the protection you need for your bond
Don't end up paying more than you should
You don't want to pay more for your insurance than you need to. As with most credit life insurance, there is no more paying for a 'one-size-fits-all' approach. We consider your risk rating factors like your age, gender and health status, which means you only pay for your unique level of risk appropriate to you.
Your cover doesn’t
expire
Once your bond is fully paid up, you’ll still have the life cover benefit which means you don’t need to reapply for life cover if you buy another property. Or, you can keep the life cover to ensure your family is financially protected in the event of your death.
No decreasing term insurance
Your life cover doesn’t decrease as your bond decreases. This means that when your home loan is fully paid up, you will still have your life cover in place. So if, for example, you took out life cover for R1 million to cover a R1 million home, you will still have the R1 million life cover that can be paid to your beneficiaries or settle any other debt in the event of your death.
