CREDIT LIFE INSURANCE

Credit life insurance is a type of life insurance policy designed to provide cover for the risk of a borrower's inability to pay outstanding debts. The face value of a credit life insurance policy decreases proportionately with the outstanding loan amount as the loan is paid off over time, until both reach zero value. The borrower’s inability to pay should be as result of:

  • Death of borrower
  • Total permanent disability
  • Total temporary disability
  • Specific critical illness
  • Retrenchment

MORTGAGE PROTECTION INSURANCE

This policy will provide a lender cover for recouping any mortgage assets financed on behalf of a borrower in the event the borrower defaults or is unable to continue with repayments due to any of the following causes:

EMPLOYEE PROTECTION INSURANCE

The PNDC law 187 of 1987 enjoins all employers to arrange protection for all employees whilst in engagement.

There are several ways of arranging such protection schemes but the most reliable is that of insurance. Insurance in whatever form offers compensation against injuries or death and the settlement of medical expenses.

It is worth noting that the insurance is effective only when the accident occurs during working hours.

It provides compensation to affected employees following,

This policy is an enhanced form of the workmen compensation cover except that the Personal Accident policy is a 24-hour cover with the following benefits:

In recent times employees now work in much more decent environments which make them safer and more sedentary. This tendency exposes employees to injuries and deaths through natural rather that accidental causes.

The following are the benefits under the policy.

  • 24-Hour Death Benefit (from accidental or natural causes)
