    Are you aware that you can safeguard your financial future with affordable loan insurance coverage that can be tied to your Home Credit product loan or cash loan?

    With the Borrower Protection Plan, you'll enjoy financial assistance to help pay your installments or loan balance, support your loved ones in case of unforeseen events, and access FREE online medical consultations whenever needed.

    In this article, we'll explore the significance of this coverage and explore how it can benefit your financial well-being.

    1. Unlimited Online Consultation for You and Your Family

    When you're feeling unwell or dealing with an emergency, unlimited online consultations can be a real lifesaver—no need for pricey hospital visits or long clinic lines. This allows access to medical advice and treatment 24/7 while keeping your financial burdens under control. 

    Home Credit's Borrower Protection Plan offers free unlimited online consultations for you and your family members through Grepa Medical and Diagnostic Center (GMDC).

    In addition, if the customer is advised by the doctor to rest at home due to sickness or injury for a minimum of 5 consecutive days, the Borrower Protection plan also waives your monthly loan installment.
