MRTA :. Print Print this document

MRTA (MORTGAGE REDUCING TERM ASSURANCE) is an insurance to secure the repayment of the outstanding loan in the event of the death of a borrower. The liability of a loan may cause much financial hardship on your family in the event of your death, unless you are already otherwise insured adequately.

Some lenders impose as a condition of the loan that you take up an MRTA with one of their panel insurers. In most instances, the interest rates may be higher if you choose not to take up an MRTA. You should:-

 1. weigh the saving of the interest against the cost of an MRTA;
 2.shop around for the cheapest MRTA.
