It’s important to understand what you are and aren’t covered for. For the Personal Credit Protect policy details, check the Product Disclosure Statement

It makes sense to protect your loan

If you’re applying for a personal loan from a St.George branch or over the telephone, consider how you would meet your loan repayments if something unexpected were to happen to you. Personal loan protection can help you meet your personal loan repayments if should you become sick, have an accident, lose your job, or pass away.

St.George Personal Credit Protect cover includes:

• Sickness or accident - if you’re unable to work due to sickness or accident, we’ll cover your regular loan repayments until you return to work 
• Job loss (Involuntary Unemployment) - covers your regular loan repayments for up to 3 months or $1500 should you lose your job unexpectedly while you seek new employment.
• Life - helping ensure your family is not burdened with meeting loan repayments if you were to pass away. St.George Personal Credit Protect covers your outstanding loan balance (up to a maximum of $50,000).

Other benefits

• No medical examination required when applying
• One-off premium becomes part of your personal loan
• Claim payments are made directly to your personal loan
• Joint borrowers can either or both apply for this protection
• Any benefits from another source, such as workers compensation, sick leave or Centrelink will not be impacted if you make a claim.

How personal loan protection could benefit you

St.George Personal Credit Protect means you have less to worry about in being able to meet your personal loan repayments. You and your family can focus on recovering should the unexpected happen, knowing we’re there to support you.

Personal Credit Protect is easy to put in place when you apply for your new personal loan or refinance your existing personal loan, at one of our branches or over the telephone, and the one-off premium is simply added to your loan amount. Once you have set it up, there is no more for you to do and you can relax knowing you’re covered.

In the event of a claim, any amounts are paid directly to your loan. Here’s an example of how this could work for you.
