What is life insurance?

This type of coverage assists with the payment of your mortgage balance in case of death, with the addition of accidental dismemberment insurance at no additional cost.

What is disability insurance?

An illness or injury that prevents you from carrying out your professional activities is often associated with a temporary drop in income. Mortgage disability insurance pays your mortgage instalments in case of disability.

Benefit from numerous advantages

  • Have peace of mind: Payment of your mortgage instalments in case of illness or accidental dismemberment, payment of your mortgage balance upon the death of one of the insured.

  • Rest easy: Benefit from accidental death coverage at no additional cost from the time the application is signed and during the application process.

  • Avoid surprises: The amount of your premium is determined when the loan agreement is signed and remains unchanged until the end of the term, until the loan is refinanced or until the initial insurance coverage is changed (whichever occurs first).

What you also gain in return

  • When you renew, your premiums will be adjusted under the same conditions, without you having to provide proof of health.
  • Coverage is tailored to your needs, giving you and your loved ones' peace of mind.
