What is MRTA
MRTA or Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance is designed to provide coverage and protection for borrowers who take up housing loans. It covers the borrowers against Death and Total Permanent Disability (TPD) due to Natural or Accidental causes, on the outstanding housing loan on decreasing sum assured basis. This initially is for an amount equal to his/her outstanding loan, which will be reduced in accordance with the installment payments (according to the Table of Reducing Sum Assured attached to the policy).
Why should the borrowers be protected under the Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance?
By way of Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance, in the event of the borrowers' untimely Death or TPD, we:
- Secure the repayment of the housing loan
- Assure that the borrowers' loved ones are free from indebtedness in having to settle the outstanding mortgage on the house
- Protect their families from eviction guarantee repayment, thereby relieving the Financier (Policy Owner) from having to go through lengthy legal procedures to settle the outstanding loans/taking legal action to foreclose the property.
Benefits of MRTA
On top of the usual coverage against Death and TPD, our MRTA provides the following extra benefits while at the same time maintaining our competitive premium rates:
- a) Free Terminal Illness Coverage
The Sum Assured will be made payable to the Policy Owner if the life assured is confirmed to be suffering from a terminal illness, just as if a death claim had occurred and the policy will terminate. However, the free coverage for terminal illness is up to maximum of RM100,000 or the sum assured whichever is lower.
- b) Free Personal Accident
We provide a Sum Assured of up to Rm10, 000 within the first year of death or Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) due to accident. The effective date of the Personal Accident rider shall follow that of the basic plan and shall expire upon surrender of the basic plan or on the first anniversary which ever is earlier.
Other Advantages of Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance:
- Health On-line Service
We have an arrangement with our partner, Dytan Health On-line Sdn Bhd (DHO), for cases that exceed our Non-Medical Underwriting limit. Under this arrangement if you do not wish to go to our panel clinics, DHO will make an appointment with them and they will perform the medical requirements at a place convenient to your borrowers. This service is provided to your borrowers at NO ADDITIONAL COST.
- 1 Year Validity Period for Offer Letter
Our Offer Letter carries a validity period of 12 calendar months from the date it is issued. This means that the premium quoted will not change within one year from the date of the offer even if the age of the borrower has changed.
- One-Single Low Premium
AmAssurance calculates the rates on a group basis. As such, at a lower cost, we will assure an exclusive Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance protection. It is probably the least expensive type of life policy available.
Moreover, with only one payment, borrowers are assured of a long-term protection for the whole duration of the loan repayment period.
- Round the Clock Worldwide Coverage
Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance protects the borrower at all times and wherever they are, except suicide in the first year of assurance.
- Easy Premium Financing
To assist the premium payment, the single premium may be added on to the principal loan amount and spread over the loan tenure period. The borrower will then have to pay a marginal increase on the monthly housing loan repayment.
- One lump sum payment
In the event of claim, due to Death of TPD, we will pay the proceeds to the financier in one lump sum, according to the sum assured as shown in the policy schedule.
- Installment Premium Payment
To further assist the borrowers in paying the premium, we also allow premium payment in installments (without interest). Single premium for Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance can be paid in equal consecutive monthly installments, up to a maximum of six installments. The number of installments should be such that each installment is at least RM 100.00. Payment must be made via post-date cheques.
Upon receipt of the first installment, policy is effective for the full sum assured. However, failure to settle any installment shall cause the policy to lapse.
- Early Settlement of Loan
Should the borrower decide to settle the loan earlier, they can continue with Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance policy on an individual basis, without any additional proof of insurability or they may cancel the policy for its cash value
