Insurance is definitely not the most exciting topic in the world. On the other hand, if you were told that you are probably paying too much for your mortgage insurance and that you could get more for your money, it becomes more interesting, right?
Everyone wants to have the best product at the most competitive price.
That is perfectly normal.
When it comes to protecting one’s family and covering one’s mortgage, however, many homeowners choose an option that is not optimal.
Mortgage insurance is not necessarily the most appropriate product to cover your mortgage in the event of death.
But the good news is that even if you have one and you realize that you are paying too much, you can change your insurance at no cost or penalty at any time!
We will be explaining why you may be paying too much for your mortgage insurance and how you can change at any time to save money.
Are you paying too much for your mortgage insurance? It is very likely!
We never really know if we are paying the right price for our insurance, right?
If you suspect that you are paying too much for your mortgage insurance, you should know that you may be right.
When we accept a mortgage loan from a bank, it will always offer mortgage insurance for protection.
That’s when most people, happy to get their loan, make a mistake and accept conditions without taking the time to compare other options.
In fact, bank mortgage insurance is good but the reality is that they are not OPTIMAL products that provide you with maximum benefits.
In Quebec, even financial planners, the most proficient professionals in personal finance, do not recommend mortgage insurance to their clients but rather propose life insurance!
Why is it likely that you are paying too much for your mortgage insurance from your bank?
Banks are not insurance companies.
They invest less time, money, and energy in their client classification and charge higher premiums to better manage their risks.
What does it mean in English?
By and large, low-risk and healthy clients usually pay too much while higher-risk clients pay too little.
If you pay too much, know that you can reverse the situation!
Further, be advised that mortgage insurance from banks is not the same as mortgage default insurance which is mandatory if your down payment is less than 20%.
Get a better understanding by referring to mortgage life insurance – rights and responsibilities from the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.
Contrary to what you may think, you do not have handcuffs that hold you prisoner in your bank. Your insurance contract does not require you to stay with your bank for a fixed term.
YOU CAN THEREFORE CANCEL AND CHANGE YOUR MORTGAGE INSURANCE WITHOUT PENALTY AT ANY TIME!
Yes, you can simply contact your bank to terminate your insurance. We recommend, however, that you take out new insurance before canceling your existing mortgage insurance to avoid risks.
Shop around and make sure you have your new insurance before ending your current one.
The thing to remember here is that you do not have to pay penalties or hidden fees if you want to change insurance.
As mentioned earlier, there is a good chance that you will pay too much if you accept the mortgage insurance of your bank.
It is always recommended to shop around and take the time to compare different offers or even different products.
We then established that financial planners generally recommend life insurance as a solution to their client wishing to cover their mortgage in the event of death.
We have explained that even if you have mortgage insurance right now, you can still change it at ANY TIME without any fees or penalties!
Nothing is holding you back!
