Illness and unemployment protection

Loan Payment Protection is an insurance designed specifically for only Swedbank borrowers. It is possible to conclude insurance agreement together with new loan, it means 30 days counting since loan contract conclusion. The insurance will alleviate your financial burden in case you will be unemployed or be on incapacity for work.

• With the Illness and Unemployment Protection Insurance, in case of an insured event, you will receive an amount equal to your monthly loan repayment amount every month until you return to work (in the case of losing a job – until you find your new employment), however, for not more than 12 months.
• The insurance fee is 3% of your monthly mortgage and 4% of your monthly small loan payment. For example, if the monthly mortgage loan payment is €100, the insurance premium is €3.
• You can conclude the insurance contract within 30 days since loan contract conclusion, if your loan has a term of at least 1 year and if the loan balance is more than €500.
• We recommend that also the co-borrower conclude the insurance contract.
