If you switch from a funeral plan with any other licensed insurer and that policy's waiting period is over, we'll waive your waiting period for natural death for the same persons covered and related cover amounts as your previous policy. There’s no waiting period in the event of an accidental death.
A licensed insurer is defined as a licensed insurance company recognised by the Financial Services Conduct Authority (FSCA) and listed on the FSCA website.
Edited to align to other elements (banking system and app), as this referred to the singular ‘life insured’.
From day one, the funeral benefit is doubled if a life assured dies due to an accident.
Note: For children, this is limited to the maximum cover amounts as prescribed by law.
Pause your plan for up to 6 months instead of it being cancelled. You won’t pay any monthly premiums and there will be no cover, but you can reactivate your cover and premium any time in the 6-month period. You will get the same full benefits of the plan. Voluntary policy pause has an initial waiting period of 24 months. You can apply for the benefit as many times as needed (subject to a further 24-month waiting period) over the term of your policy.
This benefit is our way of celebrating with you! You get full cover for up to 6 months without any monthly premium payments when you provide an unabridged birth certificate within 3 months of the birth or adoption.
The Newborn Premium Waiver has an initial waiting period of 6 months. You can apply for this benefit e as many times as needed (subject to further 6-month waiting periods) over the term of the policy.
The last thing you need to worry about is how to get your loved one back home for the funeral. Let us help you with the transportation of the deceased.
This service covers the transport of mortal remains of a life assured from a place of death within South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Swaziland, Lesotho and Mozambique to the funeral home of choice closest to the place of burial in South Africa. The place of death must be at least 50 kilometres from the place of burial
It also includes transportation arrangements and overnight accommodation for one family member accompanying the remains.
If the policyholder dies 6 months after policy inception, the remaining persons covered on the funeral plan will continue to receive full cover for a further 6 months from the date of the policyholder's death without any monthly premium payments, giving them time to reorganise their financial lives. The death premium waiver is activated automatically upon the registration of the policyholder's death.

*Legal maximum child cover: The total amount that can be paid out for a child’s death is restricted by legislation. We must apply those limits across all our policies, those of other insurers that we become aware of and across all benefit types. For example, if the child cover on the policy reaches the maximum amounts above, we will restrict the amount that we pay out to the maximum allowable amount as shown in the table.
All Capitec Funeral Plan benefits are subject to terms and conditions, including limitations and exclusions as set out on in the terms and conditions.
