Our verdict

  • BankSA includes flood cover as standard on all its policies – a plus because many other providers charge extra or include restrictive exclusions.
  • You can choose to pay your premium monthly and not be charged extra.
  • While BankSA may offer 2 attractive sign-up deals, its 10% policy saving for combining home and contents insurance doesn't get close to Budget Direct's saving of 30%.
Sorry! We currently don't have this brand on our panel. But don't fret, you can head to the BankSA Home Insurance website or compare a bunch of other home insurance companies with Finder.

Exclusions

Home insurance policies are usually very clear about what they will and won't cover. You can find a list of general exclusions that apply to BankSA's home insurance in its product disclosure statement (PDS). Here are a few of the key exclusions to be aware of:

  • Actions of the sea
  • Deliberate, intentional, malicious or criminal acts
  • Inherent defects including faulty design
  • Insects, birds and vermin including native animals
  • Lost property
  • Rust, damp or chemical damage
  • Soil movement
  • Wear and tear

Make sure you read BankSA's PDS for a more detailed breakdown of exclusions. You can also head to our general exclusions guide for more information.

Here's some information on BankSA Home Insurance complaints

We looked at home insurance complaint data from the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) between July 2020 and June 2021. The data breaks down different underwriters and compares their business size to the number of complaints processed.

When comparing insurers, keep in mind that insurers with a larger market share serve more customers, so can potentially get more complaints.

Here's an overview of how BankSA (Allianz Australia Insurance Limited) did:

  • Allianz is categorised by AFCA as a very large general insurer, which means it's normal to see a large number of complaints. Comparatively, it received much less than insurers of similar size like QBE.
    • It does, however, have a lower percentage of complaints that were resolved at the first stage of the complaints process.

    This is the bottom line about BankSA

    BankSA Home Insurance offers a lot of peace of mind thanks to the many standard inclusions in its policies. What's more, you can also save up to 10% if you combine your building and contents in one policy, but there are bigger sign-up bonuses out there.

    If you're not yet ready to take out a policy, compare BankSA Home Insurance policies side by side with other providers we've reviewed.
