AVBOB Benefits Explained
On this page, you will discover the incredible benefits that AVBOB offers its clients. As a provider, AVBOB continuously strives to enhance its offerings. AVBOB benefits encompass a wide range of advantages for both policyholders and beneficiaries. You have the flexibility to either utilize these benefits to arrange the funeral or opt for a cash payout. Whichever option you choose, rest assured that you will receive exceptional service from them. Additionally, AVBOB recently raised the free discount amount for policies older than two years. AVBOB is a mutual society. This means that the benefits increase every year. The increase in AVBOB benefits will be for all new and old clients.
Burial Arrangements Included
Firstly, when opting for AVBOB to handle the funeral arrangements, you gain access to an extensive list of value-added benefits. Previously, clients received a discount of up to R4000* on funeral arrangements. However, AVBOB has increased the maximum discount amount, allowing you to save even more. For policies under two years old, the discount remains at R4000*, while policies older than two years now qualify for discounts up to R21 500*. Considering the cost of a funeral, this represents a significant amount of savings. With your AVBOB policy, you basically get a free funeral up to R13 303*.
Accidental Death Benefit
Remember that with AVBOB, if you as the main member have cover of R10 000 and experience an accidental death, your coverage amount will double. This means your coverage increases to R20 000 when you claim. This fantastic benefit is just one of the many advantages AVBOB benefits offer clients. The “accidental death policy” benefit comes at no additional cost.
Cash Only Option
Secondly, with AVBOB, you have the freedom to choose between receiving a cash payout or allowing them to handle the funeral arrangements on your behalf. We highly recommend considering AVBOB for the arrangements. This approach provides several benefits. Firstly, you become eligible for discounts. Secondly, you benefit from their expertise and comprehensive range of services. This benefit eliminates the need to search for various products and services elsewhere. AVBOB’s experience and industry knowledge ensure you receive top-quality offerings without extensive effort.
Cashback Benefit
Every five claim free years, AVBOB offers a cashback benefit, returning up to a full year’s premiums to you in cash. Remember, this AVBOB benefit only applies if you haven’t made any claims for five consecutive years. AVBOB shows appreciation for your loyalty by refunding the money directly to the policyholder. You can utilize this money in any way you wish. Consider it a little savings pocket that rewards your commitment. To qualify for the AVBOB benefits, you don’t need to take any additional steps apart from paying your monthly premiums.
