Dear Tshifhiwa

We acknowledge receipt of your complaint.

Please take note that  in terms of Regulation 4.2 of the Long Term Insurance Act, a policy is automatically restricted for the first 5 years of its existence to allow only one loan and one surrender, be it full or partial surrender.  
  • The same restriction rules apply when one increases one's policy premiums by more than 20 % of the average of the previous two years premiums.
  • Therefore, if you increase your policy, your policy may be subject to multiple overlapping restrictions

One of our Client Care Assessors will be contacting you directly with the restriction details on your specific policy.


Regards

Client Care Team
