BMO Creditor Insurance (Mortgage) Creditor Insurance Reviews

BMO Mortgage Creditor Insurance certificate offers BMO Mortgage holders the following coverage:

• Creditor life Insurance: max coverage of $600,000
• Creditor Critical Illness Insurance: max coverage of $450,000
• Creditor Disability Insurance: max coverage of $3,000 per month If your mortgage obligations are higher than these limits, your creditor insurance coverage may not fully cover your mortgage obligations in the event of death, critical illness, or disability.

Product CON’s:

1. Rate Blending: In most cases males/females, smoker/non-smokers all pay the same premium for the same coverage. This means BMO will charge a 40-year-old female non-smoker the same creditor insurance premium as a 40 male smoker to insure the exact same amounts of coverage. This is an extremely unfair pricing practice for Canadian consumers. Creditor disability insurance takes this unfairness one step further by blending occupational risk. This means that a lawyer who sits behind a desk all day pays the same disability rates as a roughneck on a drilling rig despite how drastically different the risks in their occupations are.
2. Pricing: You will pay anywhere between 100% to 500% more for creditor insurance coverage from this lending institution than you would if you were to purchase these products from a licensed life & health insurance advisor.
3. Underwriting: Creditor insurance applications usually come with 3 or 4 eligibility questions and these questions are asked by individuals who are not life licensed individuals. If they are answered incorrectly, it can cause serious issues when it comes time to make a claim on your creditor life, critical illness, or disability insurance coverage.
