Credit Protection for Credit Cards

Right for you if:

  • You want credit protection on your Republic Bank credit card balance

 

  • Overview

    Your Republic Bank credit card can give you convenient access to credit for your everyday purchases and expenses. However, in the event of your death or the diagnosis of a covered critical illness, this convenience could become your family's financial obligation. Credit Protection can prevent this from happening.

    Credit Protection pays the outstanding loan balance on your credit card account in the event of your death, relieving your loved ones of added financial pressure at a difficult time.

    Critical Illness Protection is a living benefit, which means that the outstanding loan balance on your credit card account can be paid in the event you are diagnosed with a covered critical illness (specifically heart attack, cancer, or stroke).

    If you already have life protection, you may want to add critical illness coverage or consider joint coverage.

    As a Republic Bank credit card customer, it’s easy to take advantage of this important offer of protection. You are already approved for coverage provided that you (and your secondary cardholder, if you choose) are less than 70 years old on the date you enrol for Life Protection, or less than 60 years old if you decide to enrol for both Life and Critical Illness Protection. No health questions are asked.
