Why do I need Mortgage Insurance?

For unpredictable and real times

Mortgage protection insurance is a type of disability insurance that specifically covers mortgage or rent payments, as well as living expenses if the insured person becomes disabled and unable to work. The benefit payments are not affected by ACC benefits.
It is common to confuse Mortgage protection insurance and income protection insurance. Although similar in nature, these insurance services serve the same needs with a few different features: Income protection covers a maximum of 75% of your current income, and mortgage protection covers either 45% of your current income or 115% of your mortgage repayments.

Cost-effective and tax benefits

Mortgage Insurance benefits are often portable, which means if you refinance or purchase a new home, the policy can be transferred. It is generally Tax-Free and covers your mortgage or rent payments or up to a certain percentage of your income or mortgage.

Disability Benefits

If you become disabled and are unable to work, the Mortgage Insurance policy may provide coverage to help cover the mortgage payments during the disability period.

Death benefits

If the borrower dies while the mortgage is still outstanding, the Mortgage Insurance policy pays off the remaining balance of the mortgage.

Joint Coverage

Some level premium life insurance policies may offer cash value accumulation over time. This means a portion of the premium payments can go towards a savings or investment account within the policy.
