What is loan insurance?

Loan insurance helps pay off a business loan, based on the insurance percentage you’ve chosen, if you or another insured person becomes disabled or passes away.

Coverages offered

Life insurance

In the event of death, this insurance covers the balance of your loan, based on the percentage you chose between 10% and 100%.

Maximum benefit: $10 million

Disability insurance

If you become disabled, this insurance covers your regular payments until your loan is paid off or until you turn 70, based on the percentage you chose. If you become disabled due to cancer, you can start receiving benefits from the day your disability began.

You can insure between 10% and 100% of your loan as long as this percentage isn’t higher than your life insurance percentage.

Maximum benefit: $10,000 per month per insured person

Benefits are tax-free and not affected by benefits paid by other private or public plans.

Eligibility

To take out loan insurance, you must:

  • Be a Canadian resident
  • Be a director, officer, owner or guarantor of the business
  • For life insurance coverage, be 69 or under
  • For disability insurance coverage, be 64 or under and also have life insurance coverage

Cost

The premium is calculated based on an additional interest rate that’s applied to your loan. Premiums vary based on:

  • The coverage you choose
  • The insurance percentages you choose
  • The number of people being insured, their age and sex and whether or not they smoke
  • The loan amount

As you pay off your loan, your insurance premium will go down.

Ways to save

  • You can get a discount on your life insurance if you also get disability insurance.

  • We encourage healthy habits for our members and clients by providing a reduced rate for non-smokers.
