Many New Zealanders don’t realise their existing life, trauma, or TPD insurance policy includes a special event benefit – a feature that allows you to increase your cover after major life events like having a baby, getting married, or taking out a larger mortgage, without any new medical underwriting.

Summer brings long days and warm evenings, but it also brings fast moving storms that can catch homeowners off guard. Heavy rain, strong winds, and surprise downpours have unfortunately become a part of New Zealand’s summer season, and they often lead to insurance claims. To minimise and mitigate damage from summer storms, here’s a few […]
The festive season in New Zealand is not solely about BBQs, sunshine and DIY because, as ACC statistics remind us, a surprisingly high number of festive injuries also take place! According to ACC data gathered from the last few years, around 2,500 Kiwis are injured every December doing Christmas-related activities, costing more than $2 million […]
When we talk about ‘protecting the family’, most Kiwis immediately think about life insurance. It makes sense, a safety net in the form of a lump sum payout to help clear the mortgage, take care of debts and provide loved ones with some financial security in the event the unthinkable happens.
