Accident, illness, unemployment through no fault of your own or disability - many things can happen in life. That's why we recommend that you take out insurance for your monthly instalment payments.
Avoid unforeseen financial burdens.
You want to be sure that a personal stroke of fate will not also become an unforeseeable financial burden.
Secure payment of your instalments - in every situation in life.
When you take out a credit agreement, you can protect your future plans against the unexpected. Whether it's a cash loan or a leasing contract, voluntary instalment insurance takes over your instalment obligations if you become insolvent through no fault of your own. And gives you the peace of mind and relief you need, especially in difficult situations.
Requirements
- Minimum age at conclusion of contract 20 years, maximum age at expiry of contract 60 years
- The insurance is valid from the day on which the loan was paid out.
- No knowledge of an existing illness or accident
- No absence from work of more than 20 days due to illness/accident and no hospital stay of more than 10 days in the past 12 months.
- No knowledge of impending dismissal
- Permanent employment for at least 6 months with at least 25 hours per week
