Absa Death Insurance
The cover becomes active from the first day of the month after you open your account.
The benefits are deposited in your Absa account, but first, all the fees and outstanding overdraft will be deducted.
After all the account debits are cleared, the remaining amount will be paid to your deceased estate.
The benefit is not paid if the death resulted from suicide, attempted suicide, or natural causes within the first months of account opening.
The cover will not also compensate you if your death results from involvement in criminal activity or due to active participation in the war, invasion, acts of foreign enemy, civil war, revolution, or military power.
This is how the Absa death insurance works in South Africa.
