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.

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.
