Protect Your Family’s Lifestyle
Your home is where your family will live and grow, today and tomorrow. By protecting your mortgage balance with insurance, it can help cover your payments in the event of a critical illness, disability or death.
The Protected Mortgage Difference
By having insurance that's dedicated to your mortgage, any additional income, such as employer's benefits, are preserved to take care of your family's other expenses.


Your mortgage fits neatly within your finances.

But what if you got sick or hurt and were suddenly unable to work?
A protected mortgage means your payments could be made for you.
