What is Mortgage and Living Insurance?
With Mortgage and Living Cover you’ll receive regular payments if you’re unable to work due to sickness or injury to help cover everyday expenses, like mortgage payments.
There are many ways to structure your cover and premiums, allowing you to tailor cover to your needs, lifestyle and importantly, budget! It’s flexible too, so you can adapt it as your financial circumstances change.
Offering agreed level of cover, gives you certainty about how much you could receive if you need to claim – there’s also a more cost effective option that offsets any other payments you might receive such as ACC.
Mortgage and Living cover is packed with features and you can boost the cover further with optional benefits.
