Why is life insurance important?

When taking out a mortgage, it is common for financial institutions to require the subscription of certain insurance policies, such as life insurance and home multi-risk insurance.
These policies exist to protect both the client and the bank, ensuring that, in the event of unforeseen circumstances, the mortgage remains safeguarded and the property protected.

At Credilink, we help you choose the life insurance solution that best fits your needs — in a simple, transparent, and secure way.

Practical tips

Useful advice to consider before taking out insurance

Know which insurance policies are commonly required

Life and home multi-risk insurance are usually required by banks, but there are different coverage options available.

Check whether the insurance policies are mandatory by law or by contract

The law does not require a specific insurance policy, but the bank may require certain insurance as a condition for granting the loan.

You have the freedom to choose the insurer

You can take out the insurance with another insurer, as long as the coverage is equivalent to what the bank requires.

ompare coverage and premiums

Prices and conditions vary between insurers. Compare premiums, coverage, and exclusions before making a decision.

Check whether the loan rate depends on the insurance

Some banks offer interest rate reductions if the insurance is taken out through the institution. Consider whether this reduction offsets the difference in the insurance premium.

Review the conditions periodically

Your needs may change over time. Regularly compare new market offers.

Check the insured amount in your life insurance

The insured amount should match the outstanding loan balance. If there is more than one policyholder, check whether both are covered and in what proportion.

Read the exclusions carefully and

waiting periods. Check for situations not covered by the insurance (such as pre-existing conditions or age limits).

Keep all documentation

Keep policies, receipts, and communications from the insurers, which are necessary in case of a claim or loan transfer.
