Mortgage Protection insurance

An insurance that covers the remaining mortgage payments in the event of death or, sometimes, disability.

What is Mortgage Protection?

This is an optional mortgage insurance that can pay off your outstanding balance or help cover your payments during times of financial hardship as a result of certain unexpected life events like sickness or death.

A mortgage can be one of the longest financial commitments an individual will make in their lifetime. When you sign on the dotted line, it can be hard to predict what your life will look like in 15-30 years. That’s why it can be reassuring to know that your mortgage will be taken care of no matter what happens.

Mortgage Security Premiums and Discounts

Your monthly premium is based on your age and the amount of your Mortgage at the time of your application. The younger you are, the less you pay.

If your mortgage exceeds $350,000, you will receive a discount on the life and/or critical illness premiums on the amount over $350,000.
You may also be eligible for an additional discount of up to 20% on your premiums if you and/or another borrower on the mortgage account are insured for two or more insurance coverages on the same mortgage account.
