Dedicated offeringAssurance Emprunteur Expat’

Intended audienceExpatriates and residents outside France

Buying property in France while living abroad raises a specific question: the loan insurance must be compatible with your residence and meet the bank’s requirements. Afi Esca presents Assurance Emprunteur Expat’, an offering designed for expatriates and residents outside France. This is credit protection, not international health insurance.

The official offering describes adjustable cover for death, disability and inability to work. The benefits actually available, their definitions and their conditions must be assessed for your application. A benefit offered within the product range is not necessarily selected or applicable to every borrower.

Izem Expat examines the loan, your country of residence, occupation and lender requirements. The aim is to check the suitability of the offer and equivalence of benefits before taking out a policy. Remote application procedures, medical requirements and any restrictions must be confirmed in the documents provided.
