Efficiency Hack for Accurate Valuations
Pro-Tip: Before starting your online application, use the Home Rebuild and Contents Calculators available through the BankSA or insurer platform. Estimating your replacement costs accurately prevents underinsurance and speeds up the application process, allowing you to confidently input your required Sum Insured without needing to pause and research construction costs mid-quote.
Troubleshooting Insurance Portal Access
- MFA Delays: If your SMS Secure Code fails to arrive when attempting to finalize your insurance application, check that your mobile device has a stable cellular connection. Wait briefly before requesting another code to avoid delays caused by multiple verification attempts.
- Browser Errors: Complex quoting questionnaires rely on active session cookies. If the page times out, freezes on the property details screen, or displays a connection error, clear your browser cache and cookies, disable any aggressive pop-up blockers, and restart the quote in a new incognito window.
- Locked ID: If you input an incorrect internet banking password multiple times while attempting to log in and retrieve a saved quote, your digital banking access will be suspended. Use the Forgotten Password tool to reset your credentials via SMS verification, or call BankSA support at 13 13 76 to restore your profile.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bundle my home and contents insurance?
Yes. Purchasing a combined BankSA home and contents insurance policy is often more cost-effective and convenient than holding two separate policies. A combined policy means you only have one renewal date and one premium to manage.
How do I lodge a claim for property damage?
You can initiate a claim 24/7 by calling the dedicated claims number listed on your Certificate of Insurance. Alternatively, you can log into your BankSA internet banking portal, navigate to your linked insurance policy, and follow the prompts to lodge your claim securely online.
