Group Credit Assurance

Pioneer Group Credit Assurance (GCA) is a specialized loan protection insurance designed to cushion lending institutions against financial loss if a borrower passes away, suffers permanent disability, or loses their job. Held directly by the financial institution as the policyholder, GCA guarantees the settlement of the net outstanding loan balance, protecting the lender's credit portfolio while shielding surviving families from inherited debt burdens.

What is Group Credit Assurance?

Group Credit comes in two forms:

 

  • Group Credit Premium Guaranteed
  • Group Credit Open

 

Group Credit Premium Guaranteed is a credit life policy designed for medium to large SACCOS who desire to pay a one-off premium at the beginning of the insurance period irrespective of the changes in the loan portfolio during the insurance period.

 

Group Credit Open insurance is a life policy designed for Banks and other corporate lenders who desire to place the cost of insurance on the borrower.

 

Under Group Credit Life Insurance, the lender is the policyholder and pays the premium.

 

Our Group Credit policy does not cover arrears or default on loan repayment

  • Outstanding Loan Settlement – ​​Pays the full remaining principal balance (net of arrears) upon the borrower's death from illness or accident, or in the event of Permanent Total Disability (PTD).
  • Retrenchment & Job Loss Cushion – Covers agreed monthly loan installments for a specified period if the borrower undergoes involuntary retrenchment.
  • Critical Illness Rider – Pays 30% to 50% of the loan cover amount upon diagnosis of a covered critical illness (available as an accelerated or standalone benefit).
  • Immediate Funeral Benefit – Delivers a fixed cash payout to assist the borrower's family with funeral arrangements (available as a standalone or accelerated benefit).
