Nedbank Funeral Cover Contact Details

Nedbank publishes no number specific to funeral cover, but it does publish a claims line for its insurance business, which is a different number from the banking contact centre.

Official provider route

• Log an insurance claim: 0800 333 111
• Nedbank contact centre: 0800 555 111
• Client complaints helpline: 0860 444 000 or 011 710 4011

Product or service support

The claims number is the one to use once a death has occurred. Nedbank sets out a three step process on its insurance pages: log the claim by phone, submit the supporting documents, then the claim is assessed. The banking contact centre cannot log an insurance claim.

Eligibility, account or policy requirements

Funeral cover is a life insurance policy, not a bank product, even though it is sold by the bank. It pays a stated amount on death rather than reimbursing costs, and it usually carries a waiting period for natural causes. The policy number rather than an account number is what identifies it, so have the policy document rather than a bank card when you call.

Escalation route

Funeral cover is long term insurance, so a complaint the insurer does not resolve goes to the National Financial Ombud Scheme on 0860 800 900. A complaint about the advice given when the policy was sold goes instead to the FAIS Ombud on 0860 663 274.
