Credit protection insurance covers your loan and guarantees repayment of the capital in the event of death or disability. Peace of mind guaranteed, for you and your loved ones.
Created by Cardif Lux Vie and distributed by BGL BNP Paribas, credit protection insurance is a life insurance policy attached to a loan. It is valid during the term of the loan and insures all or part of the amount borrowed (depending on the amount insured).
In the event of the borrower’s death or disability, credit protection insurance guarantees repayment of the loan based on the amount insured.
There’s a suitable loan for every project. And for each loan, a specific insurance offering. These insurance solutions all have one thing in common though, and that’s that repayment of the outstanding balance in the event of death will be covered by the insurance company.

For Luxembourg residents, and those treated as residents, premiums paid under mortgage protection insurance are tax-deductible. What’s more, the deductible limits are higher if the insurance is paid as a single premium!

Frequently asked questions
Credit protection insurance makes it possible to secure a set capital amount for a fixed term. This amount may correspond to the full amount of your loan or to a part of it. In the event of death or disability of the insured person before the policy matures, the insurer will repay the contractually insured amount.
The sum insured is determined when the policy is first taken out and will decrease based on the term of the policy.
Credit protection insurance is optional, however the bank may require it as a condition for granting a loan.
A home loan is a serious commitment, the repayment of which is passed on to your heirs in the event of death or disability. A guarantee covering 100% of the capital borrowed is the best solution for ensuring maximum security over the loan.

Premiums are calculated on the basis of the amount insured, the contract term, the type of loan, your age and health status. You may be asked to undergo a medical examination to determine your insurance premium amount.
