Cost savings with added flexibility

WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER?
Example client:
Female, Age 42, Non Smoker

$350,000 Mortgage life insurance through TD bank = $101.50 Per month
$350,000 Mortgage life insurance through RBC bank = $101.50 Per month

OR

$350,000 10 Year Term policy shopped on the open market and obtained through one of Canada’s top four providers = $27.63 per month

Term Life Insurance
-Term policy death benefits do not decline over time. If you start paying for $350,000 that is what is paid out regardless of current mortgage amount.
-Discounts on your premium if you are a healthy non-smoker - (Very significant savings for older people.)
-You own the insurance and it is not tied to the mortgage lender. You have complete freedom to change mortgage lenders.
-You choose who you want to be the beneficiary.
-Policy is owned by you.
-The older you are the more expensive premiums are - in comparison to a personal policy. Over 15 companies competing for your business - get the best rates available based on your health situation.
-You can combine all your insurance needs and get a lower rate with your own plan.
-You undergo all the underwriting now, and then if there is a payout later the process is simple and your beneficiaries are paid quickly.

Lender Provided Mortgage Life Insurance
-Death benefit declines yet premiums do not decline.
-No discounts on premiums for healthy people.
-The bank controls the money and pays off the mortgage - it is a declining amount.
-Bank is the beneficiary.
-Policy is owned by bank.
-You have a separate policy for the mortgage and other policies for other life insurance needs.
-Application process very simple until a claim is made, then the bank does the full underwriting to determine if a payout is warranted.
