We all have our valued possessions, along with many more we take for granted. While some are irreplaceable, there are a surprising number we would need to replace, should the worst happen. From kitchen appliances to the kitchen sink and house itself, it all adds up.
What if a major catastrophe – like fire, lightning, storm or flood damage or falling trees – hit your home? How would you afford to replace the clothes, furniture, books and other items lost in a fire? What would be the real cost of rebuilding or repairing your home to the quality and size it is now?
Less dramatic incidents take their toll as well. It’s amazing how much damage children can unwittingly do with balls, paint and other “playthings”.
And what of those essentials of daily life we take out and about – music players, mobile phones, digital cameras and sunglasses? Small, portable, easy to lose, and appealing to thieves. Costly to replace and frustrating to do without.
Home Cover Prestige is Family First Credit Bank’s building, contents and valuables insurance solution that can protect any or all of these scenarios.
Home Cover Prestige provides peace of mind that, if, through specific events, your property is damaged, destroyed, lost, or stolen, it can be repaired or replaced. And it will usually be on a “new-for-old” basis, regardless of the item’s age. It also protects you against malicious damage and accidental loss or damage to home and contents at the insured address. Plus it provides extended cover for your contents when temporarily removed anywhere in Australia and New Zealand, or for up to 90 days when overseas.
Home Cover Prestige is one of a comprehensive range of insurance solutions Family First Credit Bank offers through our association with QBE Insurance.
Founded in 1886, QBE is one of Australia’s leading insurers. It’s because of QBE’s experience, security and strength – as well as its prompt, efficient and friendly claims service – that we’ve made it our general insurance provider.
This partnership enables us to deliver Family First Credit Bank members quality and value in insurance products, with the added convenience of having everything under the same roof.
