What is payment protection insurance?

When you borrow money or use a credit card, it comes with a responsibility to repay what you owe. But what happens to your ability to pay if you become unemployed or ill? We cannot prevent unforeseen events, but with payment protection insurance we can make your financial situation a bit easier if something unexpected should occur.

Payment protection insurance secures your finances, for example, by covering loan repayments and clearing debt if you become ill, unemployed or die. You can buy payment protection insurance for consumer loans and credit cards. If you would like a secured car loan or a loan for other vehicles, this can be ordered when you take out the loan. The kind of cover you have depends on what you’re insuring.
