Old Mutual Finance is entitled to require you to take out credit life insurance to ensure the loan is repaid if you die, become disabled or are retrenched. Old Mutual Finance has arranged a policy through OMART, which is an Old Mutual insurance company.

You can either take this policy or provide your own policy when you apply. Not any policy will be accepted by Old Mutual Finance. It must be a policy that provides at least the same protection to you and Old Mutual Finance. Therefore it must cover at least the outstanding balance in the case of death, or permanent disability, if you are temporarily disabled it must cover the instalments for 24 months and if you are retrenched, it must cover the instalments for at least 12 months. It must also not have unreasonable exclusions or waiting periods.

If you know that you will be retrenched when you take out the loan and the cover, the policy will not pay out. If you injure yourself on purpose or commit suicide, the policy will also not pay out. If the disability or death is as a result of existing medical conditions not disclosed, exclusions will apply.

The credit life policy summary is available for you to read and you will get a copy. The cost of the credit life cover will be shown to you when we provide you with the loan offer.

If you have any further questions regarding the credit life policy or you would like to use your own policy, we need to refer you to a specialist to assist you, before we can finalise the loan. Please call them directly on 0860 000 886.

You must inform us if you are aware of any illness, medical condition or pending retrenchment that may prevent you from repaying the loan, otherwise your claim will not be paid.

The reason for conducting a credit check is to establish if you can afford the loan which you have applied for. The credit check will give us information about your credit history.
