About the program

What would your family do if something unfortunate happened to you? Would making the monthly mortgage payments be difficult? Credit Security Plan (CSP) insurance can allow your family to secure the home through these payments.

Credit Security Plan is optional Creditor’s group life and disability insurance, underwritten by The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (Manulife). It can help pay off your First National mortgage, should an unexpected death occur. It can also help cover your monthly mortgage payments if a serious accident or illness leaves you unable to work.

Key benefits

Life coverage up to the amount owing on your First National mortgage (subject to a maximum of $1 million).
Stand-alone disability insurance that can cover your monthly mortgage payments for a period of up to 24 months (subject to a maximum of $10,000).
Every eligible applicant is approved for some kind of coverage regardless of health status.
Premiums based on group rates.
60-day money-back guarantee.
Simple application process and upfront underwriting.

To apply, you must be at least 18 years of age and under 65 years of age, a resident of Canada¹ and be the borrower, co-borrower or guarantor of a First National mortgage of $1,000,000 or less.

How it works

Your premium is based on: your age when you apply, your original mortgage amount and amortization period, and does not increase in the event of changes to your health or because you get older.
Your life insurance benefit equals the mortgage balance owing on your mortgage.²
Your disability benefit is based on the initial monthly mortgage payment stated on your application and your benefit share.³
Insurance premium payments are collected from the same bank account as your mortgage payments, by the Insurer and/or its service providers. If you wish to change the bank account, please call 1.800.295.6472.
Coverage can begin as soon as your mortgage is funded, provided the Insurer receives a signed application and valid payment information.
For most clients, a quick telephone interview is all that is required to complete the application. In the event that additional tests are required, they will be handled with absolute confidentiality.
You will receive confirmation of your coverage and premiums by mail.
