Making a claim

If you’re making a claim, we understand you may be going through a difficult time. Our trusted insurance partner, Vero, has a dedicated claims team for our customers to help make your claim as easy and stress free as possible.

If you're affected by a natural hazard and you have home cover with Vero, they will manage your home and land claims on behalf of the Natural Hazards Commission (NHC), formerly the Earthquake Commission (EQC). Get in touch with Vero and they'll do everything they can to help.

You can submit your claim using Vero’s online Claims Portal as soon as you can to let them know what’s happened. 

To make a claim you'll need:

• Your policy number which you’ll be able to see under the ‘Insurance Policies’ section in Internet Banking or find details of on your policy schedule 
• Details of what has happened, and any other people involved
• Photos or documents (if available) to support your claim, for example, receipts or photos of the damage

If you have an urgent claim, would prefer to speak to our team, or there is imminent risk to you or your property, please call the Vero Claims team on 0800 269 252.  

As soon as you submit your claim, Vero will review your claim and let you know if they need any additional information. Once they have all the information they need, they’ll aim to have a decision within two business days.

Your Vero Claims Consultant will get in touch to let you know the outcome of your claim and talk through the next steps.
