Membership details

Straight rules, no small print. Here is exactly what applies when you join.

R150 once-off, per family. Your monthly premium then follows the plan you choose, from R100 to R1 000.

Death, funeral or final expenses claim

Call 067 029 1484 first. We start the arrangements while the claim is processed, so the family is never waiting on paperwork before the service can be set up.

You will be required to provide the following for a claim

  • ID number and the death certificate of the deceased
  • South African banking details

The reasons why a claim may be denied

  • Policy has exclusions (e.g. suicide)
  • Fraud
  • Errors in claim application
  • The claim falls outside of the scope of what the policy covers
  • Non-disclosure (important information not shared when the policy was taken out, e.g. incorrect age)
  • Claim is abandoned (by the customer)

To prevent any processing delays

  • Send every document at once, in full, and check the ID number against the death certificate.
  • Give banking details in the claimant’s own name at a South African bank.
  • Keep premiums up to date, and tell us of any change in ages or members before a claim.
