Why loan protection insurance?

Many borrowers scale their loan repayments based on their regular earnings and assume that their level of income will not change. Nowadays, the terms for home loans are rather long. However, as a long loan term progresses, you and your family's financial situation may change due to unexpected setbacks or other reasons.

You can take out insurance to secure your ability to repay loans. The compensation paid by OP's Loan protection insurance can be used to make repayments on an existing loan if your income decreases due to illness or incapacity for work, for example. The insurance will cover the monthly instalment (monthly repayment) amount of your loan up to a maximum of €2,500 per month.

In the event of accidental permanent disability or death, the remaining loan can be repaid up to a maximum of €300,000.

Loan protection cover alone or together

The insurance can be taken out as either single or joint cover for a loan you have taken out with another person. In that case, each borrower chooses the cover they want, regardless of the other borrower’s choices. Loan protection insurance is also suitable for a loan taken out by a self-employed person for themselves.

How much does Loan protection insurance cost?

The premium for Loan protection insurance depends on factors such as the loan amount and the insured person’s age. You can get started by requesting an offer.
