Why you should get expert insurance advice

Getting expert advice on your insurance cover can help ensure you have the right cover at the right cost.

By Christelle van den Berg, Head of Broker Channel at Nedbank Insurance

We all benefit from the expertise of specialists when it comes to various aspects of our lives.
This is especially true when it comes to things that are more technical and involve industry jargon we do not necessarily understand. For example, when we are sick, we trust the doctor to give us the right diagnosis and treatment. When planning for our financial future, we speak to an advisor who has the expertise to consider the impact of variables like inflation and market performance on our long-term wealth. This is so we can have peace of mind about the future. And the same should apply when it comes to insurance.

Getting expert advice on your insurance cover can help ensure you have the right cover at the right cost.
The purpose of insurance is to provide for unforeseen events in life, letting you minimise the impact of unplanned expenses that can empty your purse.

This is where an insurance expert can help you to:

find the most suitable insurance product(s) for your specific needs;
get quotes from different providers so that you can get the best deal, without having to go through the administrative hassles yourself;
ensure you have the right amount of cover based on your circumstances;
understand the detailed rules, terms and conditions of your insurance policy; and
follow the correct process when you need to claim.

With Nedbank Insurance you have access to the services of dedicated insurance experts.
