What is MRTA?

Mortgage Reducing Term Assurace (MRTA) is also frequently referred to Mortgage Life Assurance. MRTA provides for full settlement of the outstanding balance of the housing loan with the financial institution, in the event of TPD also known as total permanent disability or death of the borrower. It gives you peace of mind and protects your family from losing a home.

The premium is reasonable, and it can usually be included in the loan amount, and the repayment period of the premium is usually spread over the loan tenure. The premium is only incurred once. There are no monthly or yearly premiums to be paid. In the event of early termination of housing loan, you will generally have the option to request for a refund of the premium for the balance of the unexpired period or to continue the insurance coverage.
