What is mortgage protection insurance?
Mortgage Protection Insurance provides partial tax-free monthly income so you can pay your bills if you get too sick or injured to work. You are eligible to apply if you are
- Permanent resident or citizen of New Zealand
- Some work visa holder may apply
- be aged between 16 and 55
- Agreed value, maximum benefit is 45% of your income or 115% of your rent or mortgage.
What are the benefits of Mortgage Protection Insurance?
Before you buy a home and accept the responsibilities of a mortgage that is repaid over several decades, you might consider protecting your home from a mortgagee sale or personal bankruptcy with mortgage protection insurance.
Mortgage protection insurance (MPI) protects homeowners if a health issue arises and they become disabled. Some insurers also offer optional redundancy cover. Supplementing Mortgage Protection Insurance with a death benefit cover means the balance of the mortgage could be paid off if the borrower dies.
Some employers offer income protection as part of their employee benefits program.
A short term or long term disability can quickly lead to significant cash flow drop and leave you financially vulnerable. Disability insurance helps protect your finances at a time when you may be in financial risk.
A disability can seriously affect your cash flow and financial situation. Mortgage Protection Insurance pays even if you are receiving a disability benefit from ACC, possibly leading to two benefits being paid.
It is estimated that three of five New Zealanders will suffer a major illness in their lifetime before reaching retirement age, leading to extended time off work. Sickness or illness affects people of all ages, demographics and professions.

Questions? Here are the answers.
How Much Does It Really Cost?
It’s Free to use wisekiwi.co.nz to find life insurance – you’ll never be charged for quotes.
It’s also Free to have an advisor sitting in your corner, helping you navigate and choose what’s right for you.
Life insurance could cost the same each month as a few coffees or a couple of beers, your advisor will give you certainty about the exact costs right now as well as what will happen in the future. In many cases premiums don’t increase, unlike the prices at the pub.
Does Life Insurance Really Pay Out?
Yes! However unlike the white-lie you told your mates, when it comes to life insurance you need to tell us the whole truth and nothing else.
Had a few health issues already or the occasional puff? Gotta let your advisor know! The only time life insurance doesn’t pay out is when you’re not 100% open and honest.
Can I Trust Your Insurance Partners?
Absolutely. All of our partners are Registered Financial Advisors (RFA’s) which means they have a duty of care to ensure you are provided with sound advice and are also regulated by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA).
Any person can complain to the FMA about the activities of an RFA and we can investigate that complaint and take appropriate action.
Why Get Life Insurance?
Losing a Parent sucks. But losing a Parent, the family home and the things they used to pay for all at the same time sucks on an entirely new level.
Life insurance is a safety net for your family. If anything happened to you before your cover ends, your life insurance would pay a lump sum to your family to help cover the financial loss of losing you.
Why Do You Need To Know If I Smoke?
We all know that smoking is bad for our health, and sadly it’s a contributor to disease and death in many people. We need to know if you smoke because it increases your risk of death. But be honest – your insurance may be invalid and not pay out if you try and fib your way around this one.
Why Do I Need To Speak To Someone, Can't I Do This All Online?
There are a couple reasons you need to speak to someone in person
First – unlike car insurance where there could be a few thousand dollars a stake – with life insurance we’re regularly talking about hundreds of thousands or more. For that reason, life insurance companies like to have recorded details to make sure you are who you say you are should there be any disputes if a claim arises.
And second, we firmly believe that speaking to real human beings ensures that your requirements are fully understood and you get the right cover for you and your family.
