Creditor insurance, commonly known as Payment Protection, is sold alongside or as an integral part of most personal and small business finance products. It is designed to protect the insured's monthly financial repayments linked to a specific debt during periods of sickness or suffering caused by an accident, involuntary unemployment or redundancy. It would typically provide life and/or critical illness cover.
Payment Protection is a generic insurance product offered to a wide customer base provided the individual meets the eligibility criteria i.e. typically aged between 18 to 65 years and in full time employment. Sterling Insurance Group Limited through their underwriting companies can provide a tailored payment protection product comprising any of the cover types below.
