Financial Assistance
We can offer support if you need help making a payment to us
How we can help
We’re here to support you. If you’re having trouble paying your insurance premiums, please contact us to talk to us about your situation. We’ll work out a plan with you, and we might be able to help by:
- reviewing your cover to make sure it’s right for you
- changing how often you pay
- extending your payment due dates
If you need help with other types of payments (like an excess for a claim), talk to your claims specialist about applying for financial assistance. We might be able to help by:
- deducting your excess from your claim settlement
- extending your payment due dates
Urgent support after a claim
If an event causes you to be in urgent financial need, we’re here to support you. For example, we might be able to speed up our assessment to give you a decision on your claim. Talk to your claims specialist to discuss the support we can offer.
