Taking a mortgage insurance policy, such as Mortgage Reducing Term Insurance (MRTA), provides protection for the home loan, offering peace of mind for homeowners

A home loan typically lasts for around 20 years, requiring regular installment payments until the loan is cleared. It is essential to manage finances effectively to meet loan obligations while maintaining a balance with other expenses

Life is unpredictable, and unforeseen circumstances can impact homeowners' ability to repay the loan. Mortgage insurance protects the borrower and their family from financial burdens in case of unexpected events, such as the unfortunate death of the borrower

[{"selector":"#anim-71f2d5e3-698e-4468-b3ad-028556081075 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.835937389781172%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4a20599f-6fb3-4d36-bac7-a3852cecd77b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c8305fd3-446f-4226-b2c7-ac8d066540c5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 118.76032%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

MRTA is a type of mortgage insurance that settles the outstanding home loan in the event of the borrower's death. The policy value is directly linked to the loan amount and reduces as the loan is repaid over time

[{"selector":"#anim-90d952a6-1ca6-4fed-957b-2915e672a507 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.22961945131945%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-77e141a9-6816-41cd-984a-40d99ccd7764","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-845c9ae5-8b0f-4cf6-a6bb-feda7c4bf36a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 147.67025%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Taking a home loan protection plan, like MRTA, is advised by banks and home loan companies during the loan disbursal process. It ensures that the insurance company pays off the entire home loan in case of the borrower's untimely demise

[{"selector":"#anim-e87a5f4f-b006-4c20-bfc0-31e5fcf6b593 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.249999886225726%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2895b43e-7db0-4c1a-9f33-685131a747b4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-53a4b992-9591-474e-96e8-24a88d9695ea","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 138.64162%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

MRTA policies offer slightly lower premiums compared to home loan protection plans. As the loan liability reduces over time, the premium decreases, providing cost savings. There is flexibility in paying the premium monthly or as a lump sum with home loan installments

[{"selector":"#anim-63543389-47e6-4361-8211-2e0da012589a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2bb2e611-0011-4fc1-9197-c2613b0ce37a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 128.47602%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

MRTA policies can also cover joint loans, such as those taken by spouses, parents, or children. This allows both borrowers to be protected under the same policy

In the unfortunate event of the borrower's death, the lender contacts the insurer, and the insurance company pays off the outstanding loan amount. Any remaining balance is disbursed to the nominee. Choose an insurance company with a good payment history
