Case in point –
How does Credit Life Cover benefit Thato?
Thato buys his dream double cab. It is big enough to take his wife and three teenage daughters on holiday. The bakkie costs R530 000 which Thato finances through his bank. Thato is in good health for his age, but he worries about his family should something happen to him. M-Sure’s Credit Life Cover that provides for diseases, disabilities and unforeseen life events gives him some peace of mind.
Two years later, Thato suffers from a stroke that leaves him paralysed on his left side. He can no longer work and worries about the financial burden of his remaining car instalments. Thato’s Credit Life policy kicks in and pays the outstanding vehicle amount owed to the bank. Fortunately, Thato had purchased the Gold Plan and the same amount is also paid to his family and Thato’s wife uses it to pay for physical therapy to help him on his road to recovery.
