For natural death claims received within the waiting period of six months, Sanlam will refund the premiums received for the specific life assured claimed.

For natural death claims received after five months have passed and five premiums have been paid, Sanlam will pay a pro-rata claim amount equal to the smaller of N$10,000 and the cover amount for the specific life assured claimed.

Get paid within seven working hours after all claim requirements and paperwork are received.

Avoid January money stress. Sanlam will waive or refund your premium for the month without affecting your cover.

You can request two premium holidays of three months each over the policy’s lifetime, meaning you do not have to pay a premium in the six months you choose to use this benefit. This benefit is additional to the yearly ‘No payment in January’ benefit. If you are eligible for this benefit and your premium payment defaults, you can opt to backdate the benefit, and your policy will be reinstated at no additional cost.

Provided you have paid your premiums for 15 years, Sanlam will pay premiums on your behalf when the life assured reaches the age of 65. Your cover remains active, and you will still enjoy all your Sanlam Extra benefits without paying the monthly premium or Sanlam Extra fee. If you are eligible for this benefit and your premium payment defaults, you can opt to backdate the benefit, and your policy will be reinstated at no additional cost.

Receive telephonic support services 24 hours, seven days a week. Get telephonic access to 24-hour health advice, emergency medical services, trauma counselling, online teaching, and Tele Doctor consultations.

Receive vouchers from local shops, loaded to your phone or Sanlam Extra card. These include airtime and data, groceries, cell phone deals, restaurant meals, school stationery, pharmaceuticals, VIP experiences and more.

As a Sanlam Extra member, you stand a chance to win vouchers in specific lifestyle categories. Sanlam Extra will automatically enter you into a competition depending on your tier. The higher their tier, the higher the value of the voucher, the more competitions you enter, and the higher your chance to win! Winners will be selected randomly and notified via SMS.

On acknowledgement of a death claim, Sanlam will make an airtime payment of N$200 per life assured covered under the funeral benefit. The payment will be made to the policy owner or beneficiaries.

All clients with a Prestige Funeral Plan policy automatically participate in the Sanlam Extra rewards programme. Clients cannot choose not to take part, and also cannot opt out of the program.

We call the different levels of the Sanlam Extra rewards programme tiers. There are five tiers (silver, gold, platinum, diamond and onyx), and your tier depends on what your risk benefit premium is.

Tier Premium Range
Silver Total risk benefit premiums (excluding policy fee) < N$180 per month
Gold N$180 < risk benefit premiums (excluding policy fee) <= N$225 per month
Platinum N$225 < risk benefit premiums (excluding policy fee) <= N$275 per month
Diamond N$275 < risk benefit premiums (excluding policy fee) <= N$375 per month
Onyx Total risk benefit premiums (excluding policy fee) > N$375 per month

No. Clients pay a rewards fee depending on the tier they participate in.

Tier Monthly Policy Fee
Silver N$ 20
Gold N$ 20
Platinum N$ 25
Diamond N$ 30
Onyx N$ 40

You get a lot of benefits for the fee you pay. The value of these benefits is more than the cost of the fee. Depending on the tier you participate in, you could qualify for:

  • Vouchers:
    • Airtime vouchers
    • School uniform vouchers
    • Stationery vouchers
    • Grocery vouchers
    • Pharmaceutical vouchers
    • Restaurant vouchers
  • Medical assistance services for yourself and your immediate family, such as 24-hour health advice, emergency medical services, telephonic trauma counselling and tele-doctor consultations
  • Entry into competitions to win vouchers for furniture, electronics, taxi services, restaurants, cell phones, airtime and data, travel and leisure, as well as health and personal care
  • Sanlam will pay your claims within seven hours from receiving all the necessary documents.
  • If your premium is more than N$180 per month, Sanlam will:
    • Give you (or your beneficiaries) N$200 on the death of any life assured
    • Give you access to two premium holidays if you are unable to pay premiums for financial reasons
    • Waive or refund your risk benefit premium payment in January so that you only need to pay your policy fee, relieving financial pressure at the start of the year
  • If your premiums are more than N$225 per month, you get the following extra benefits:
    • At the age of 65, if you have already paid premiums for 15 years, Sanlam will waive the premiums for the rest of the policy lifetime. You and your loved ones remain covered without having to pay any premiums after this date.
  • If your premium is more than N$375 per month, you will get VIP treatment when visiting a Sanlam client service office

Vouchers and rewards are issued upon successful premium payment. You will forfeit your Sanlam Extra benefits for that month if you miss a payment due. Use of the No Payment in January and Premium Holiday benefits will not disqualify you due to non-payment in the months they are used.

No, you will be assisted on the emergency number even if your policy is in arrears. You do not lose your assistant services while policies are in arrears and can continue using it as long as your policy is active.

Insurance benefits will be automatically activated. The only benefit you need to apply for is the Premium Holiday benefit (when you need it). You can do this by contacting your Sanlam financial adviser or broker or phoning the Sanlam Customer Care office on 061 294 7440.

Cards can only be collected at a Sanlam branch, where your details will be verified to make sure the correct person gets the card and the card number will be activated. Lost and damaged cards should also be collected from branches.

Sanlam has branches at:

  • Eenhana
  • Gobabis
  • Grootfontein
  • Katima Mulilo
  • Katutura
  • Keetmanshoop
  • Mariental
  • Ondangwa
  • Oshakati
  • Otjiwarongo
  • Outapi
  • Rundu
  • Swakopmund
  • Tsumeb
  • Walvis Bay
  • Windhoek

Only the policy owner can collect the card, and the original ID document must be used as verification before the card can be activated.

Unfortunately, even if the card was sent via post you will still need to come to the nearest Sanlam office to activate the card on your policy. Therefore, the card cannot be posted.

By adding premium and cover growth to your policy, you ensure that your cover amount adjusts every year and is not eroded by inflation. The costs of funerals increase every year, so your cover should too.

Some life assureds also only qualify for a limited amount of cover. By adding growth, it ensures that these clients’ cover also increases over time to a bigger cover amount.

The growth only happens every year on the policy anniversary. A lot can happen in a year’s time and your financial situation could look different then. If you are unable to afford the increase, you can always skip the growth for that year, or you can cancel the growth entirely and the policy will never increase again.

Yes, your policy fee will also increase every year. The percentage is not fixed, and will be determined every year but will never be more than 10%. It will not necessarily be the same percentage as the growth on your risk benefits.

Yes, you can, but then you forfeit (lose) your airtime vouchers that are awarded to you in the year it is skipped. If you completely cancel the growth, you lose your airtime vouchers completely.

When your Prestige Funeral Plan policy lapses, you forfeit (lose) any future rewards on the policy. Rewards already given to you won’t be taken away – they can be redeemed even after lapse if not yet used (provided it has not yet passed the reward expiry date). But you will not qualify for any new rewards after the lapse date. This includes the assistant services – you cannot use the assistant services and medical emergency number when your policy has lapsed.

Or visit any Sanlam branch for assistance.

We will be able to issue a new card and transfer any remaining rewards from your old card to the new one.

Once a reward has been forfeited (lost) you cannot get it back by paying the outstanding premiums. However, if you pay in the outstanding premiums, you will get rewards again in future.

The policy owner always gets the rewards (even if the premiums are paid by someone else).

No. If you choose not to use the benefits and rewards, you lose them when they expire.

If you have upgraded to a different tier it means that your premium has increased. Depending on the tier that you are in, the policy fee may increase, but you will also get more rewards.

Your risk benefit premium has gone down, and, therefore, you now fall into a lower tier and get less benefits (and could pay a smaller policy fee).

You can go back to the tier that you were on if you increase your risk benefit premium again. This can be done by increasing your cover amount, adding a new life assured or adding benefits to your policy.

Vouchers are valid for a period of six months from the date of issue.
