Is ANZ Credit Card Insurance still right for you?
We know that as life changes, so do your insurance needs – which is why it's important to consider whether ANZ Credit Card Insurance is still right for you.
To help you make an informed decision, we have included important information you need to know.
More information can be found in the PDS.
What is covered
- If you become involuntarily unemployed, or you're unable to work due to serious illness or injury:
- The Insurer may pay you a monthly benefit for a maximum of 150 daysdisclaimer
- The monthly amount will be 20% of the total amount outstanding on your ANZ credit card, as of the date you become involuntarily unemployed, seriously ill or injured
- The maximum amount the Insurer may pay you will be the total outstanding balance as of the date you become involuntarily unemployed, seriously ill or injured
For example, if you become involuntarily unemployed and, on that date, you have a closing balance of $1,000 on your ANZ credit card, you may be eligible for a monthly payment of $200 for a maximum of 150 days/$1,000disclaimer
- If you become seriously ill, injured, become permanently disabled, or pass away: the Insurer may pay a lump sum, based on the outstanding balance on your credit card at the time (up to a certain amountdisclaimer)
- If your credit card is stolen or subject to fraud: the Insurer may pay a one-off payment of $200
- If you're unable to work due to a spouse or dependent child being diagnosed with a critical illness: the Insurer may make a one-off payment of $500 on your credit card balance
Importantly, what this is not
- It is not designed to completely cover you for all expenses you may incur if you become seriously ill, injured, involuntarily unemployed, suffer a total and permanent disability or if you pass away – this is simply designed to help you pay off your outstanding credit card balance
- It is not an ongoing monthly benefit until you are able to return to work – where you become involuntarily unemployed or unable to work due to serious illness or injury, you may you receive a monthly payment (20% of your closing balance as at the date) for a maximum of 150 daysdisclaimer
- It is not a comprehensive financial back up plan – given this is designed to cover your credit card balance only, it is likely to not be the only financial support you would need in the event of a serious illness, injury, unemployment, or total and permanent disability
- And therefore, would also likely not be sufficient to maintain your current lifestyle
- It is not intended to replace other insurance products for example life insurance, total and permanent disability (TPD) insurance, home loan or income protection
