Loan Insurance helps you meet your financial obligations in the event of an accident

Did you know that, in the event of disability caused by an accident, Loan Insurance will cover your financial obligations of your personal loan, auto loan, mortgage or any other loan?

In fact, Desjardins Loan Insurance offers protection that ensures reimbursement of the loan in the event of disability or death:

• Life Insurance ensures repayment of the loan by the insurer in the event of the borrower's death so your debts won't become a burden to your loved ones.
• Disability insurance ensures that the insurer takes over the insured portion of loan payments, up to a total of $5,000 per month.

With the proper precautions, you will be able to continue repaying your loan in spite of any decreases in income caused by a disability. Without insurance, you may have to cancel any projects you might have had in order to keep making your payments.
