FREQUENTLy ASKED QUESTIONS

Premium Financing is a facility which allows you to pay off your annual insurance over a fixed period of time.

We offer 3, 6, 9 and 11 months loan options for your premiums. You make a prepayment upfront and then 3, 6, 9 or 10 monthly
instalments depending on the loan option chosen. Your prepayment is used at the end of your loan period to pay off your loan
balance.

To apply for Premium Financing at North West, you will need:

a. A valid form of Government issued picture ID (DP/National ID card/Passport)
b. Proof of address (utility bill/bank statement) no more than 3 months old
c. Last months’ pay slip

There is no application fee.

A decision on your Premium Financing application can be instant or up to a maximum of twenty-four (24) hours.

The first instalment is due thirty (30) days from your insurance policy start date.

Customers will have seven (7) days from their payment due date to pay their instalment before a late fee is charged to their account.

e.g. your instalment is due on the 1st day of the month, a late fee will be charged on the 8th day of the month if your payment is not received before the close of the business on the 7th day of the month.

Yes – you must inform us before you set up your loan if you wish to pay at month end otherwise your payment due date will be tied to your policy start date. Alternatively, you can:

  • Make your first instalment with your prepayment so that you can pay your subsequent instalments at the end of the month.
  • Make your first instalment when you get paid before the instalment due date and continue making your instalments at the end of the month.
  • Leave money in your bank account when you get paid to make your instalment during the month.
  • Set up a standing order with your bank. Remember standing orders must be set up 3-4 days before the payment due date so that the monies can be received before the payment due date to avoid a late fee being generated on your loan.

Your loan payments must be up to date for your claim to be paid. For further details on payment of claims please refer to your Insurance Provider representative.
