Protect your world by protecting your income
Your income supports the lifestyle you enjoy. If a covered event has put you out of work – for example, critical illness, injury, involuntary unemployment or looking after your seriously ill child – you could struggle to pay everyday expenses like your mortgage, groceries or school fees.
ANZ Income Protection can offer financial support through regular monthly payments. You may not have chosen to stop work, but you can choose to keep the money coming in if you can’t work.
Protect yourself and your lifestyle - signing up is easier than you think.
