MORTGAGE INSURANCE

Protect your home
without depending on your bank.

Your bank's mortgage insurance has significant gaps. A private policy gives you more control - and it's your family that's the beneficiary, not the institution.

WHY PRIVATE INSURANCE

An independent policy,
your family
decides.

Your bank's insurance is convenient, but limited. Alexandre analyzes your mortgage and your profile to offer the best-suited protection - often more advantageous than the bank's option.

RISKS

What happens if your
mortgage isn't protected?

Real situations no one should have to go through.

85%
of mortgages unprotected in case of death
Source: CMHC

Most Canadian homeowners don't have enough life insurance to cover their mortgage in case of premature death - leaving the family without a home.

1/3
Canadians will experience a disability of 90+ days

A prolonged disability without coverage can force the sale of the home to keep up mortgage payments.

$0
paid to your family with bank insurance
Source: Group policy analysis

With the bank's group insurance, the capital is paid to the institution - not your family. It pays off your loan, but your loved ones receive nothing directly.

THEY MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE

Situations that resonate

Fictional cases for illustration only - inspired by common situations.

C
Camille, 31
First-time homeowner - teacher

Camille just bought her first home. Her bank offered its group insurance. Alexandre set up a private 25-year policy - fixed coverage at $380,000, her family as direct beneficiary, for less than $40/month.

Private mortgage life insurance
P
Pierre, 44
Project manager - two children

Pierre took out his bank's insurance without thinking. When diagnosed with a disabling herniated disc, he discovered his bank disability coverage was limited to 2 years. Alexandre moved him to an individual policy with coverage until age 65.

Mortgage disability insurance
L
Lucie and Jean, 37
Homeowner couple - Montreal

When switching banks for a better rate, Lucie and Jean lost their group insurance - tied to the old institution. With a private policy set up by Alexandre, their protection follows their mortgage, no matter the financial institution.

Portability - independent policy
FAQ

Your questions about mortgage insurance

What's the difference between the bank's mortgage insurance and private insurance?
The bank's group insurance names the bank as beneficiary and the coverage decreases as you pay down, while the premium stays the same. With a private policy, your family is the beneficiary, the coverage is fixed, the policy is transferable and the medical underwriting is done in advance.
Is mortgage insurance mandatory in Quebec?
No, it is not legally mandatory. It's strongly recommended to protect your family in case of death or disability. You always have the right to decline your bank's insurance and find a better option elsewhere.
Can I replace my bank's insurance with a private policy?
Yes, you can cancel your bank's group insurance and replace it with a private policy. Alexandre analyzes your situation and offers the transition best suited to your health profile and your mortgage.
What's the difference between mortgage life and disability insurance?
Life insurance protects your family if you die - the capital pays off the mortgage. Disability insurance covers your payments if you can no longer work due to illness or accident. The two can be combined.
Does private mortgage insurance cost more than the bank's?
Not necessarily. Depending on your age and health, an individual policy can be more advantageous than group insurance - and offers better guarantees. Alexandre compares the available options to find you the best conditions.
