What does Mortgage Insurance cover?

Mortgage Insurance protects the lender holding your mortgage, but it can protect you, too. A good protection plan provides coverage for defaulted mortgage payments, so if unforeseen circumstances disable you and your family from completing a monthly mortgage payment, your insurance can cover the cost and keep you protected. Our protection plans will keep you and your family insured simply and affordably, with consistent rates and ease of exit.

Our Protection Plan offers:

• Portability (i.e. if you change mortgage lender for the balance of the initial insurance term, the insurance continues with new mortgage lender)
• Premiums that will not increase with your age, as long as your mortgage amount does not increase
