Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation is currently reviewing its position in relation to the RBA’s decision on 6 September to increase the Official Cash Rate. We'll make an announcement here as soon as we finalise our decision.
Protect your home buildings from unexpected events such as fire, theft, and storm.
With Allianz Building Insurance through Heritage Finance Holdings Corporation you can be covered if an unexpected event, such as a fire, theft or storm damages or destroys your most important asset, your home.
The better you understand your policy, the easier it will be if you ever have to claim. Here is a limited summary of the benefits of a building insurance policy. For full details of the standard terms conditions, limits and exclusions that apply please read the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) and any applicable supplementary PDS before making a decision to purchase the insurance. The Home Buildings Key Fact Sheet (KFS) also sets out some information about the cover. Select the cover to suit your needs.
Effective 22 February 2021
When you need to make a claim Allianz are there for you with 24 hour claims lodgement available online, or you can call the claims line to commence the claims process over the phone.
Allianz offers protection for out of the ordinary but devastating events such as fire, storm and burglary.
Rest easy, within the first 72 hours following a storm, Allianz have got you covered for loss or damage caused by soil movement, landslide, mudslide or subsidence caused by a storm.
If your buildings are totally destroyed and need to be rebuilt, in addition to your buildings sum insured, Allianz will pay up to $5,000 (after deduction of any government or council rebates) to help you make the new buildings more environmentally friendly.
If your building is damaged by an insured event during the period of insurance to such an extent that you can’t live in your home buildings, Allianz will pay the additional costs for temporary accommodation for you up to 10% of the buildings sum insured and up to $500 for temporary accommodation for your pets in a commercial boarding establishment.
