- Bank mortgage insurance pays only the outstanding mortgage balance at the time of death. Your insurance coverage decreases as time goes by, but your premiums either remain the same or increase.
- Bank mortgage insurance pays out only once on a first to die basis even though you are paying for two individual lives.
- The bank is the owner and beneficiary of your plan, you are jus the insured.
- If your medical condition changes during your mortgage period, you could be subject to a medical to prove your insurability.
- The bank’s mortgage insurance is not convertible or portable.
Personal Mortgage Insurance
It’s about balance, flexibility and control.
- We always pay the original mortgage balance at the time of death.
- There is a double payout with personally owned mortgage insurance because we pay on each insured’s death.
- You are the owner of your plan, therefore your family is the beneficiary.
- Guaranteed insurability with an insurance company states that you will never be subject to another medical through the entire time that you own your personal mortgage insurance.
- By owning your own mortgage insurance policy, it is convertible and portable at any time.
Term Life insurance is designed to provide you with insurance protection for a set period of time, at an affordable price. If you die within the time period, your beneficiaries can receive the amount specified in your policy, tax-free.
Term life insurance is easy to purchase. Simply contact us to speak or arrange a face-to-face meeting with, one of our Insurance Representatives.
Your health and lifestyle can save you money
Depending on your age, health, and the amount of insurance you need and your lifestyle, you could qualify for even lower rates. For instance non-smokers pay less than smokers.
Choose the term that suits you
When choosing term insurance, it’s important to choose the term that will cover you through important life events. With term life insurance, you’re able to choose a benefit amount and a term that will best meet your needs.
Remember too that with our term insurance policies, you have the option of converting to a permanent plan offered for conversion, up to the age specified in the policy.

What do you take for granted?
[list style="arrow" color="black"]- Get out of bed.
- Go to the washroom.
- Get dressed.
- Have some food.
- [/list]
Sounds pretty simple. You don’t even have to think about it. These are abilities you take for granted. But we’re all vulnerable to accidents and illnesses that can change the way we live.
Imagine not being as able as you are.
Life is unpredictable. Prepare yourself. Eventually, you may need long term care.
Long term care takes many forms, from in-home nursing to full service facility care. For example:
[list style="arrow" color="black"]- nursing care
- rehabilitation and therapy
- personal care (help with activities of daily living like dressing, eating and bathing)
- homemaking services (meal preparation, cleaning, laundry)
- supervision by another person
- [/list]
It’s not cheap. And the ins and outs of the long-term care service industry are not easy to navigate because of different legislation and different standards across the country.
The value of knowledge
It’s important to have a realistic expectation of what your needs may be if faced with a condition that makes it impossible for you to care for yourself.
Long term care insurance helps pay for long term care services.
