Financial relief for customers impacted by the recent severe weather in Selwyn, Christchurch City and Banks Peninsula.

We’ve identified a technical issue, where direct debit and credit card payments haven’t been processed as scheduled for some of our customers.

You should see your payment leave your designated account a day or so later than scheduled. You don’t need to do anything, and your cover is not impacted.

We’re working hard to resolve this issue and we’re sorry for any inconvenience that it may have caused you.

Our thoughts are with those of you impacted by the recent severe weather in these areas. To support you during this time, we’ve developed a relief offer for customers suffering from financial hardship. The areas included in the relief offer are those stated in the State of Local Emergency declaration announced by the Government on 1-May 2025.

 

What’s available to you.

If you’ve been suffering financial hardship as a direct result of the recent severe weather in the affected areas included in the State of Local Emergency declaration announcement and can supply evidence, and we accept your application, we’ll waive your premiums for up to 3-months with the potential to extend for up to a further 3-months, whilst keeping your cover in place. For all the details, including eligibility criteria and terms and conditions, read our overview.
