Fidelity Life customers who are suffering financial hardship due to the impact of floods on their Canterbury farms can apply to have their premiums waived for three months, with the potential to extend for a further three months, without affecting their insurance protection.
Fidelity Life Chief Customer Officer Peter Doherty says the company has a responsibility to look after its customers, particularly in tough times.
Doherty says flood-hit Canterbury farmers with Fidelity Life policies should contact their financial adviser for information about the offer or contact Fidelity Life on 0800 88 22 88.
Any other Fidelity Life customers facing financial hardship as a direct result of the floods are also encouraged to get in touch with their adviser to discuss how Fidelity Life can help.
