Why do I need insurance?

Many feel that, even at a low price, loan repayment insurance is an unnecessary addition to their monthly loan payment. The "it could never happen to me" attitude is understandable when your health is good and you're in the prime of your life, but the statistics on death and disability add a different perspective:

  • Over 6,000,000 Canadians a year will suffer an accidental injury
  • Accidents are the leading cause of death for Canadians 45 years of age and under
  • One in four Canadians between 25 and 45 years will be disabled for at least 90 days
  • Canadian insurers pay disability benefits under loan insurance plans in excess of $230 million per year.

What are creditor group life and disability insurance products?


Life

  • Decreasing Term Life Insurance purchased in conjunction with a consumer credit transaction (loan, lease, mortgage) -- provides a death benefit to pay off all or part of the credit obligation in the event of an insured's death during the term of the coverage. Decreasing term life ensures that your family estate is left with an asset not a liability.
  • For a lease contract, or for a contract with a balloon/residual component, add residual Life Insurance for complete coverage.


Critical Illness (CI)

  • Decreasing Term Critical Illness Insurance purchased in conjunction with a consumer credit transaction (loan, lease, mortgage) -- provides a benefit to pay off all or part of the credit obligation in the event that the Insured is diagnosed with a covered Critical Illness during the term of the coverage. CI Insurance is designed to eliminate the financial strain of a vehicle loan, giving you the freedom to focus on getting well.
  • For a lease contract, or for a contract with a balloon/residual component, add residual CI Insurance for complete coverage.


Disability

  • Canadian insurers pay disability benefits under loan insurance plans in excess of $230 million per year.

Creditor Group life and disability benefits are payable to the creditor, or financial institution to reduce your financial obligation.

Disability income coverage through your employer seldom provides the level of financial security you enjoy when you are working. And, if you are self-employed, you may not have coverage at all. The extra costs you face in a crisis-related situation can drain your resources and affect your credit rating. Through Jumbo Ultra and Jumbo Plus, you have the peace of mind that your financial obligations are secure, no matter what occurs.

Jumbo Ultra

 

For life insurance coverage up to $200,000 or disability benefits up to $3,500 per month.
