Insurance against borrower's unemployment and incapacity for work

Loan Payment Protection is an insurance designed specifically for only Swedbank borrowers. It is possible to conclude insurance contract within 30 days after signing the loan agreement. The insurance will alleviate your financial burden in case you will be unemployed or be on incapacity for work.

• The insurance premium is 3.5% of your monthly mortgage or small loan payment. For example, if the monthly loan payment is €100, then insurance premium is €3.50 for the month.
• You can conclude the insurance contract, if you have at least 1 year of your loan agreement repayments, and if the loan balance is more than €500. Loan Payment Protection Insurance is available for borrowers of up to 63 years of age (inclusive).
• We recommend that also the co-borrower conclude the insurance contract.
