Multi-benefit discount
To support New Zealanders looking to take out new cover, we’re pleased to announce our new multi-benefit discount on our comprehensive Assurance Extra product range.
From 15 September 2020 until 31 October 2021 your clients may be eligible for a discount of up to 7% when they purchase at least $200,000 of Life, or an equivalent amount of Life Income Cover, alongside at least one additional qualifying benefit.
Premium cover and redundancy covers are not qualifying benefits, so will not activate or increase the discount. However, the premiums for these benefits will be discounted as part of the overall discount offer.
To find out which benefits qualify for the discount click here. For examples of how the discount structure works please see here.
The multi-benefit discount is available for clients who are quoted and issued during the campaign period. The discounts will be applied at client level, on all risk premiums applicable to that client. The discount will decrease or may be removed if Life or Life Income Cover or any other benefit is removed.
