What’s life insurance?

Life insurance can help protect the financial security of your loved ones. It guarantees the payment of an amount equal to the insured balance of your loan at the time of your death. Plus, accidental dismemberment coverage is included at no additional cost.

What’s disability insurance?

In the event of an illness or accident, your disability insurance will automatically make your loan payments when you can no longer work. This way, you can keep your savings for emergency expenses such as hospital bills, transportation and professional care.

Why not now?

It’s never too early to get coverage. A sudden accident or illness can quickly change your situation. Plan ahead and secure the financial future of your loved ones.
