Ethniki Insurance plan titled “Life insurance for mortgage loan borrowers”, offered by the National Bank of Greece, secures your loan repayment, in case of death, securing your family at the same time.

More specifically, in case the insured (borrower/guarantor) dies due to illness or accident during the term of the insurance cover, Ethniki Insurance undertakes to compensate the National Bank by paying an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the loan on the date of the insured’s death, depending on the percentage of their participation in the insurance and up to three (3) due installments (with a maximum of €200,000) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan.

In brief:

  • Simple processes
  • Insure your entire loan or part of it
  • Premiums reducing as the loan is being repaid.

Life insurance for mortgage loan borrowers in details

Life insurance for mortgage loan borrowers and guarantors is provided as a group insurance policy with the following characteristics:

  • Minimum age of the insured person at the start of the policy 18 years old
  • Maximum age of the insured person at the start of the policy 65 years old
  • Maximum coverage age: 70 years old
  • Maximum insured capital (€200,000).
  • It only applies to permanent residents in Greece
  • The insurance product becomes available to you, only if you have been accepted to the insurance, after having filled in the health questionnaire, included in the Participation Application.
Very simply and easily, you get the chance to be insured and secure your family, with a premium calculated on a monthly basis as a percentage on the outstanding balance of the loan. This is why the premium reduces over time, following the reduction of the outstanding balance.
The insurance ends with the repayment of the loan, or at the insured person’s 70th birthday, whichever may occur first. It also stops, if you wish it or if an insurance risk occurs or if the premium or the loan installments are not paid.
Every borrower/guarantor, who is a natural person, can be insured, either for the entire amount of the loan or for part of it. Said part cannot be lower than 50% at least for one borrower but the total percentage of the loan covered by all insured persons together shall be at least 100%. In order for the guarantor to be insured, at least one borrower should also be insured for an amount equal to at least 50% of the loan capital.
