Bridging cover is a temporary product and does not replace a permanent insurance policy. Device and travel insurance are linked to qualifying Duela lay-by purchases. All Duela Protect products are subject to qualifying criteria and policy terms.

All protection products offered through Duela Protect are underwritten by licensed South African insurers registered with the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA). Duela Pay acts as an insurance distribution channel. Products are subject to qualifying criteria, policy terms, and conditions.

Duela Protect,
explained.

Is Duela Protect the same as the ยง62 CPA protection? +
No. The Consumer Protection Act ยง62 protects your right to a refund of your custodial funds โ€” that is a legal right, not an insurance product. Duela Protect goes further, covering events like job loss, hospitalisation, and death that could affect your ability to complete your plan.
Do I have to take Duela Protect to use lay-by? +
Basic plan protection is included in your lay-by admin fee โ€” there is nothing extra to sign up for. Funeral cover, bridging cover, device insurance and travel insurance are optional add-ons that will be available separately once our insurance partners are onboarded.
How much does plan protection cost? +
Basic plan protection is included in your plan fee at no additional cost. Pricing for our other protection products will be confirmed when each one launches. Register your interest above and we will notify you first.
When will the other Duela Protect products be available? +
We are finalising our insurance partnerships and expect to launch these products soon. Register your interest above and we will contact you as soon as they go live.
How do I make a claim? +
Claims will be managed through the Duela app. When a qualifying event occurs, you or your nominated beneficiary initiates a claim in the app and our team will guide you through the process.
Who underwrites Duela Protect products? +
All products are underwritten by FSCA-licensed South African insurers. We will publish our insurer partner details once agreements are finalised.

Your plan, your family,
your peace of mind.

Register your interest and we'll let you know the moment each one is ready.
