SAL
Group, a division of Industrial Alliance Pacific Insurance and
Financial Services Inc (IAP), has specialized in creditors' group
insurance for over 45 years. SAL Group introduced the first accident and
health plans to Canada's auto dealers in 1963, and has been leading the
way ever since. Since its inception, SAL Group has continued to
diversify and explore new product opportunities: extended warranty,
chemical protection, anti-theft etch programs, GAP, replacement
warranty, loss of employment, and critical illness programs. Creditor Insurance
Purchasing
or leasing a vehicle can be very exciting. On the other hand, the
financial investment can be sizeable with the accompanying payments
representing a large portion of your monthly budget. SAL Group's
creditor insurance, also known as loan repayment insurance is one of the
most comprehensive loan repayment insurance of its kind. The best way
to achieve peace of mind is to plan ahead. So it's good to know that the
insurance coverage you choose will reduce the financial impact of
life's unexpected challenges, on you and your loved ones, should
anything happen to you: Life Insurance coverage
If
you were to suffer a fatal injury or illness, life coverage will pay
off the insured portion of your loan to the financial institution. This
means that your family can keep the asset and not have the strain of
heavy monthly loan payments. Critical Illness coverage
If
you are to become diagnosed with a covered condition, critical illness
coverage provides a lump sum payment that will pay off the insured
portion of your loan to the financial institution. A 'living life'
benefit, critical illness insurance is designed to eliminate the
financial strain of the loan, giving you the freedom to focus on getting
well. Disability (Accident & Sickness)
If
you were to become unable to work due to an illness or as a result of
an injury, the Accident & Sickness coverage will take care of your
monthly loan payments to the financial institution during the eligible
period so that you can focus on getting better without the worry of the
monthly loan payments on reduced income. Loss of Employment
If
you were to lose your job involuntarily, such as in case of a layoff,
the Loss of Employment coverage will cover your monthly loan payments
while you are collecting Employment Insurance (EI). You can then, focus
on finding another job without the worry of the monthly loan payments on
reduced income. Balance Shortfall
Balance
shortfall insurance helps protect you and your family by covering the
difference (in full or in part) between the amount you owe to the
financial institution and the value of your vehicle in the event of
death, critical illness, disability or loss of employment.
Companion GAP Insurance
In today's fast-paced world, your vehicle's real value will decline faster than the balance you owe on your vehicle loan. This could leave you liable for thousands of dollars of financial liability (or negative equity) in the event that your vehicle is written off due to fire, theft or accident - that is over and above what your insurance policy will pay out and that is a financial burden you don't need. Companion GAP pays the negative equity up to $30,000. Your dealer can include the amount right in your vehicle's Finance Agreement. Coverage is available for vehicles worth up to $150,000 allowing you to protect your credit rating, lock in your rate for up to 7 years and safeguard your future.
