Can life insurance replace MRTA - Part 1

I think no one will strange about what is MRTA if they had bought a properties before else you can read the description of MRTA posted below.MRTA is an type of insurance that the bank will "advise" all properties buyers to buy or to include in their loan package if they ever apply loan from any banks before. what is this MRTA all about, basically MRTA is used to "protect" the property if anything happens to the loan applicant cause failure to pay their loan repayment such as (death, TPD or fall in serious illness cause to lost their earning ability), so MRTA insurance will clear off the outstanding loan in lump sum to the bank.


Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance (MRTA)

MRTA is a reducing term life assurance specially designed to protect a loan borrower against death or TPD (total permanent disability) due to natural or accidental causes.

Benefits at a glance
