Life Cover

Product Features

The Ongeza Life Plan (OLP) is a life insurance product that pays a cash lump sum benefit upon the death of the policyholder. Unlike traditional life insurance, you buy cover outright rather than renting it through compulsory monthly premiums.

  • No medicals required — simply apply and your cover begins.
  • No lapses, ever — your accumulated cover is yours for life.
  • Choose how you pay: once-off lump sum or monthly instalments.
  • Start from as little as R500 (once-off) or R100/month (instalments).
  • Top up your cover at any time — every payment increases your lifetime cover.
  • Maximum cover of R150,000 per rolling 12 months; up to R1,000,000 lifetime.
  • 6-month waiting period for natural causes. No waiting period for accidental death.
  • Entry age: 17 to 66 years.
  • Cover can be ceded, for credit life protection purposes.
  • Get a quote online, by phone, or through one of our brokers.
