Premium relief for customers in drought areas

Fidelity Life offers premium relief to drought-affected customers

Thursday, April 25th 2024, 2:27AM

Fidelity Life customers who are facing financial hardship as a direct result of droughts can apply to have their premiums temporarily waived for up to 3-months, with the potential to extend for up to a further 3-months, without affecting their insurance protection.

To date, the Government has declared medium-scale adverse events due to drought in Northland, Taranaki, Manawatū-Wanganui (including Tararua), Horowhenua, Wairarapa, Marlborough, Nelson, Tasman, Canterbury and Otago.

Fidelity Life chief commercial officer, Bronwyn Kirwan, says the company feels for these communities, especially those who are still recovering from last year’s extreme weather events.

“We’re here to protect New Zealanders’ way of life and that means being there for our customers through the good times, and the bad. It’s been a tough couple of years for our rural communities, with many still dealing with the aftermath of the 2023 flooding and Cyclone Gabrielle.

“In challenging times like this it’s important that New Zealanders keep their cover in place, as it can bring peace of mind and a financial safety net amidst so many uncertainties. This offer is a small way we can relieve some of the pressure our customers might be facing,” Kirwan says.
