Payment protection insurance

Payment protection insurance

Security for financial obligations

A loan can help make dreams come true. Whether it's financing a home, buying a new car, or realizing a major project. But what happens when unforeseen events occur that affect your ability to repay? That's where payment protection comes in.

Illness, accident, unemployment, or other circumstances can drastically reduce your standard of living. Reserves are quickly depleted. In such cases, at least the running costs for accommodation, energy, and monthly contractual obligations should be secure.

Is your customer unable to make their payments?

In such a case, shortly after a return debit note is issued, you would be left without a telephone, heating, or mobility, for example. To prevent this from happening in the first place, Société Générale Insurance offers various protection options that ensure basic services* are guaranteed for a predictable period of time in such cases. Whether tenants with low incomes or entrepreneurs with high monthly incomes are affected—privately or for the company—every payment default is worth protecting.

Both are on the safe side: the lending company and the consumer.

Residual credit insurance

protect against these risks, for example:

  • Unemployment

  • incapacity for work

  • serious illnesses

  • death

In the event of a claim, residual credit insurance* takes over the further installments, the agreed sum insured or the remaining loan amount as a one-time payment or in the form of monthly installments. This protects your customers against financial bottlenecks. Supplementary assistance services are practical helpers in this respect.

Securing rates is worth it

Online shopping - whether it's a tumble dryer or a smartphone, an e-bike or a musical instrument: with just a few clicks, even larger purchases can now be bought on installments. Very convenient. Of course, everyone expects to be able to service these installments - often for years.

But it can be inconvenient.

Unemployment or incapacity to work can affect anyone and is not limited to individual occupational groups. If the worst comes to the worst, salaried employees, for example, will only receive around 60% of their previous net income after a short time. With a net salary of EUR 1,500, this means a shortfall of EUR 600 every month - money that would otherwise be used, for example, to pay monthly loan obligations. Reason enough to cover this worry for installment loans. For just a few euros a month, we will take over the monthly loan installments for the time you are unemployed or unable to work, giving you additional financial leeway during this difficult time.*

This protection is available for many credit products: e.g. consumer loans, mortgage loans, leasing contracts. It is best to simply ask our cooperation partners about this when concluding a financing agreement.

A really good credit protection is always fitting with the supply situation of the consumer. Example: A student in a shared apartment has different wishes than a family with 3 school children and their own home. So what questions your customers might ask, explains the article in our blog.
