You want to avoid leaving unaffordable repayments to members of your family in the event of an accident? Is your bank requiring you to insure the amount due under your mortgage?
Outstanding Balance Insurance is the right protection for you!
If something were to happen to you (disability or death), outstanding balance insurance guarantees that your mortgage will be repaid.
Outstanding balance insurance enables you to insure the amount due under a home mortgage.
Outstanding balance insurance ensures that, in the event of death or disability, the mortgage will be repaid.
The sum insured with the outstanding balance insurance varies to match the amount which remains due under the mortgage.

- co-subscribe
- paywith single premium or periodic premiums
- distribute the amount to be insured among joint borrowers
