Common questions

What happens if I stop paying premiums?

Cover lapses after a grace period, typically 30 days, though reinstatement may be possible within a certain period subject to underwriting.

Do I need a medical exam?

Only for larger cover amounts or older applicants — many applications are approved from a health questionnaire alone.

Can I increase my cover later?

Yes, subject to further underwriting, for example after a major life event like having a child or increasing your bond.

Not sure how much cover you need?

An adviser at Mzansi Advisors can calculate your ideal cover amount based on your debts and dependants — at no extra cost.
