Our verdict

Nedbank Zimbabwe suits adults in Zimbabwe who want personal cover arranged through their bank and paid monthly, with funeral cover starting at a premium of $1 under a limit of US$6,000 (funeral cover). Vehicle, home and life policies sit under the same provider, so most needs can be held in one place.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Monthly payments are available, so the premium is spread across the year instead of paid in one amount.
  • Policy lines cover auto, home and life, keeping vehicle, home and life with one provider.
  • Entry ages are 18 or older; adults over 75 covered, so older adults can still be covered.

Cons

  • Claims run on phone only, so a claim has to be made by phone.
  • Support reaches you on phone and help centre, so there is no email or live chat route.
  • Nedbank Zimbabwe is a broker, so the policy is placed with an outside insurer rather than the bank carrying the risk.

Scored 8.9 / 10 by AssureCue.

Who it suits

  • Adults in Zimbabwe arranging a funeral policy alongside their everyday banking.
  • Older customers, since entry ages are 18 or older; adults over 75 covered and older adults stay covered.
  • Anyone who wants personal cover collected monthly instead of paid as a lump sum.

Who should look elsewhere

  • EuroAsia Insurance, whose motor policies start at a premium of UZS 60,000 for drivers comparing cover for a vehicle.
  • bunq, where cover is included with the account at a premium of €0 for existing banking customers.
  • Good Sam Insurance Agency, whose range of auto, home and renters policies is far wider than the lines here.

Who runs it

Nedbank Zimbabwe Ltd is the legal entity behind the policies, headquartered in Zimbabwe and trading since 2004. It offers personal lines for individuals rather than business cover, with the funeral policy as the priced example. Customer service runs on phone and help centre, so questions go to a phone line or the help centre.

Frequently asked questions

What does the funeral policy cost?+

Funeral cover starts at a premium of $1, and the cover limit is US$6,000 (funeral cover). That second figure is the amount the policy pays towards funeral costs. Monthly payments are available on the funeral policy, so the premium can be spread across the year rather than settled at once.

Who can take out this cover?+

Entry ages are 18 or older; adults over 75 covered, so adults qualify and older adults stay eligible. The policy is written for individuals in Zimbabwe rather than for companies, and it is sold alongside the bank's vehicle, home and life policies.

How do I make a claim?+

Claims run through phone, so a claim starts with a phone call. Have the policy details ready before calling, since that phone route is the single channel for claims. A help centre sits within phone and help centre for general questions.

Is Nedbank Zimbabwe the insurer?+

Nedbank Zimbabwe works as a broker, so it arranges cover rather than carrying the risk itself. The legal entity behind the arrangement is Nedbank Zimbabwe Ltd, registered in Zimbabwe and trading since 2004.

What kinds of insurance are on offer?+

Policy lines cover auto, home and life, and the priced example is a funeral policy with a limit of US$6,000 (funeral cover). Vehicle and home cover sit under the same provider, though the figures given here apply to the funeral policy.

Can I pay monthly?+

Yes. Monthly payments are available, and monthly is the only payment model offered. That suits customers who would rather have the premium taken in smaller amounts than pay a full year of cover in one payment.

How do I reach customer service?+

Support runs on phone and help centre, so a phone line and a help centre handle day to day questions. Claims are narrower: phone covers the phone route, so a claim cannot be raised by email or chat.

How does this premium compare with other brands?+

The starting premium of $1 sits below the site median of €8.37. Among brands ranked on starting premiums, Nedbank Zimbabwe is placed at 33 of 252, a low position because the entry product is a small funeral policy.
