Personal Mortgage Protection in Ontario

Bank-sold mortgage insurance shrinks as your mortgage shrinks, the bank is the beneficiary, and underwriting often happens at claim time. Personal mortgage protection is a life policy you own: you pick the beneficiary, the coverage doesn't shrink, and underwriting happens up front, not when your family needs the money.

  • You own the policy, not the bank
  • Coverage doesn't shrink with the mortgage
  • You choose the beneficiary
  • Portable between lenders & properties

FAQ

Common questions

Why not just take the bank's mortgage insurance?

It is creditor insurance: the bank is the beneficiary, the benefit shrinks with your balance, and many policies underwrite at claim time. A personal life policy fixes all three.

Life insurance is sold by licensed life agents and is regulated separately from property and casualty insurance in Ontario.
