Credit insurance

Credit insurance is required for all our Personal Loans to cover death, permanent or temporary disability, unemployment, the inability to earn an income or retrenchment.

What makes our credit insurance great

Unlike other insurance policies your premiums become lower over time. That’s because the monthly premium is calculated based on how much you owe on your loan. So the more you pay off on your loan, the lower your insurance payment becomes.
