Credit Protection for Credit Cards

Credit Life Protection can pay off the outstanding balance on your credit card account in the event of your death, removing these worries from your loved ones.

Critical Illness Protection

Critical Illness Protection is a living benefit, which means that the outstanding balance on your credit card account can be paid in the event you are diagnosed with a covered critical illness (specifically heart attack, cancer, or stroke).

Add Critical Illness coverage to your Life Protection, or consider joint coverage if you have a secondary cardholder on your account.

You're already approved if you are less than 70 years old on the date you enrol for Life Protection, or less than 60 years old if you decide to enrol for both Life and Critical Illness Protection.

No health questions are asked
