Our View
Loan protection cover is a good way to protect your family from the burden of liabilities in case something happens to you.
When buying such a policy, make sure to match the interest of your loan with the rate at which sum insured reduces under the policy. This ensures that you have the right cover and not one that is higher or lower than your needs.
