Commercial Overdraft Repayment Insurance

Keeping your business going, even when the unthinkable happens

Commercial Overdraft Repayment Insurance (CORI) is a simple, low-cost way to manage your overdraft even if an accident, illness or death prevents you, a business partner or a key employee from working.

Commercial overdrafts can help your business maintain a healthy cash flow by cushioning the loss if the unexpected happens and you or another key member of staff are too ill to work. Without sufficient insurance cover there is the potential that your overdraft can build up and become unmanageable.
