I love how the banking system works in South Africa, especially when it comes to insurance. So many companies and businesses in South Africa are really in the means of meeting customer’s needs, and when they’ve taken care of you, they still protect you against all odds. The African Bank Credit Life Insurance ensures that your debt is settled should anything happens to you – Your debt is automatically covered when you take up any credit products with African Bank, either a Gold Credit Card or a Silver Credit Card or a loan (BUT IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT YOUR DEBT IS COVERED)
It may happen that you get retrenched at work, these are unforeseen circumstances, however, should such occur, your repayments will be covered for up to 12 months, in that period – I would advise you to get another job.
Imagine when you’ve been earning a satisfying salary for the hours that you work, and suddenly your hours get reduced together with your salary, well, African Bank will be able to cover your payments for up to 12 months should that happens to you.
Sometimes we are forced to take unpaid leaves, in some cases we get injured at work and or we get disabled temporarily you will be covered for 12 month should you encounter a permanent disability, your debt will be settled in full just as with the unfortunate event that you pass on, your debt will be covered in full.
