Personal Insurance
Personal Insurance products are designed to protect you and your family against the financial risk of an unexpected accident or illness that effects your ability or leaves you unable to work, or take care of yourself and loved ones. Whatever your unique situation, we can provide the right cover for you to secure your lifestyle today and adapt with you as your circumstances change in the future.
Insurance for Individuals
Whether you are an employee or self-employed, we can provide insurance to cover you at home, work and play – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
How you choose to spend the benefits is completely up to you – after all, no one knows what you really need, to get back on your feet as well as you do. For example, benefits can cover:
- Your mortgage or rent payments
- Car expenses
- Everyday living expenses
- Out of pocket medical expenses and home nursing
- Help around the house with cleaning and general chores
- A holiday to get away and help you recuperate
