Peace of mind protection

Protect yourself from unforeseen events and keep you and your new car on the road with our range of protection products that we can tailor to suit your needs.

Payment waiver

You can't predict when you might be affected by redundancy, injury, illness or even death, or how you'll manage if your vehicle is written off and you still owe money.

Payment waiver is an optional product you can select which provides protection if the unexpected happens. When payment waiver applies, the payments under your contract will be waived, within agreed limits, if an agreed event occurs and all other conditions are satisfied.

The cost of payment waiver is included in your repayments for the full term of your loan. You choose the level of payment waiver you want, so that your repayments will be taken care of.

    What is insurance shortfall?

    Insurance shortfall is the difference between the payout under your comprehensive vehicle insurance policy for a total loss of your vehicle and the amount you owe MTF Finance on the same vehicle. When payment waiver applies, payment of that difference is waived, up to $10,000.

    What happens if my circumstances change?

    If you select payment waiver with your finance, we will waive your loan repayments if something unexpected happens, such as redundancy or a serious illness that prevents you from working for an extended time.

    You choose the level of payment waiver required at the time you take out the loan.

    If you can't manage your repayments for another reason, talk to your local MTF Finance contact as soon as possible. We may be able to help you find another solution.
