Product Features
Death Benefit
In the event of death, BondAbility will pay a benefit equal to the specified cover amount. If the cover amount is greater than the outstanding home loan balance, the payment will provide for additional funds that will be paid into the home loan account.
Instalment Protector Benefit
If the homeowner is prevented as a result of illness or bodily injury from earning an income for a period of ninety days or more, then BondAbility will pay the monthly home loan instalments whilst the homeowner remains unable to work. The homeowner is given the option to select either a full benefit period that will offer comprehensive cover, or a reduced benefit period of 24 months, which will provide a more affordable premium but reduced levels of cover.
