What is MRTA / MLTA?
Basically, both Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance (MRTA) and Mortgage Level Term Assurance (MLTA)are functioning as a protection for borrower by helping them to settle their outstanding mortgage loan in theevent of something bad happens. In other words, it is mortgage insurance.

How to Determine Buying MRTA or MLTA is The Best?
Step 1: Identify the purpose of buying the property, whether its for self-occupying or investment because thatwill determine how long you are going to hold the property.
Step 2: Analyse the best protection coverage needed, which is sufficient to ensure your spouse will not getinto financial trouble for the monthly mortgage installment. In order to minimize the costs, it might not benecessary to have full coverage (same as total housing loan amount) as you might have other backups (eg.savings, cash, other insurances, shares etc).
Step 3: Do some calculation and comparison to have clearer picture on the costs involved and affordability onthe premium, respectively.
Example 1: Buying MRTA
Total Loan Amount = RM 106,155Loan Tenure = 30 yearsAge = 25 years old Coverage Ratio (%) = 100%

Coverage Amount = RM 106,155MRTA Premium = RM 2,371.50
Payment Option 1: One Lump Sum Payment Upfront
Since it is one lump sum payment upfront, hence, no interest is charged
Payment Option 2: Financed into Housing Loan
Assume BLR 1.8% = 4.25%Assume Loan Tenure = 30 yearsMonthly Installment = RM 11.66Total Interests Paid = RM 1,824.84Total Payment = RM 4,196.34
Example 2: Buying MLTA
Total Loan Amount = RM 106,155
Loan Tenure = 30 yearsAge = 25 years old Coverage Ratio (%) = 100%Coverage Amount = RM 106,155MLTA Premium = RM 74.30/month = RM 891.60/year
3 years x RM 891.60/year = RM 2,674.806 years x RM 891.60/year = RM 5,349.609 years x RM 891.60/year = RM 8,024.4012 years x RM 891.60/year = RM 10,699.20
Example 3: Comparison Between MRTA and MLTA (Buying Properties for Investment)
Example 4: Comparison Between MRTA and MLTA (Buying Property for Own Stay)

We just bought a condo and understood the MRTA is compulsory and that in an event of anuntimely death, the MRTA will cover the outstanding balance of the house. So we think that it will not
burden the surviving family. Now I have come to understand that even though, the family is free frommaking the mortgage payments, the property is NOT entitled to the family. It will remain withinsurance company until the family comes out with the outstanding balance. How about that!

Hi sui.
That depends on the type of the insurance plan that you buy. If it is a life insurance, the housewill definitely go to your family since the sum assured of your plan will be used to pay for your house.For your info, i am working for my uncle in Tokio Marine. We have this great life ins+ mrta planwhich will cost only about RM 1000 per YEAR! Right now we also give rebate worth RM 100.For further info, pls contact me at 016 978 9285 or [email protected].

Hi, i got MRTA but was told tat in the event of TPD/Death, it would help to cover the whole cost, thus
beneficiary would be the family members. But, what I dun understand is why you stated the beneficiaryis the bank? Please kindly clarify, TQ.
Reply
Horlic Lim
For MRTA, if anything happens, it would cover your outstanding housing loan directly (paydirect by MRTA company to the bank).
For MLTA, u can assign anyone to be your beneficiary, if anything happens, he/she will receivethe money and use it accordingly. More flexible usage on the lump sum money.
Correct me if Im wrong.

Kent, for MRTA.. the protection reduce accordingly and approximayely.. yeah.. if the person died, the balance still need to settle.
but is the person diagnosed one of the critical illnesses, the loan will still need to continue to serve..

bcos usually mrta dun cover illnesses. always thias will lead to major financial contraint.
If MLTA any of these happens, death totall prmanentl disable, or critical illnesses, it will be settle.not only that usually MLTA also consist of reduce protection, increase protection or flat protection. butall 3, u will still get back some money or all money u pay for or all plus xtra bonus. it really depend onwhat u r looking for n your budget..

Let say me and my partner both insured 100% MRTA coverage. In the event something happened,MRTA will be paid to bank and the partner no need hassle to pay anything else, right? And the propertywill belong to the partner right and not bank? Please advise. TQ

Hi,
I am the Mortgage Consultant as well as the guy selling MRTA or MLTA.
# 10 If both insured for 100%, I call it over-insured. Yes, the bank will get the money that equal tooutstanding loan (assuming the MRTA purchased correctly and installment paid accordingly). The loan
settled, property belongs to the surviving partner. (simple assumption that it is join name, no other beneficiary)
# 9 MLTA does not necessarily covers 36 Critical Illness. Normally NO. Unless it is ADDED as aRIDER into the policy. But it can be very expensive. Beware, there are TWO type of rider, One is payyou once diagnosed 36 CI, the other is waive the premium so you dont have to continue paying the
premium BUT it will NOT settle the loan.
# 8 A bit correction. It is not the family need to folk out the different of the Market Value but thedifferent between the insurance proceeds vs the outstanding balance of the loan. If designed perfectly,no additional loan applied, interest rate dont change significantly the insurance proceeds will bealmost = outstanding balance of the loan.
# 7 Totally correct.
# 6 The ultimate beneficiary is still the family member because they can own the property withoutfurther instalment payment or settlement of the loan BUT the DIRECT beneficiary of the insurance
proceeds is the Bank.
# 5 You are either confusing with your fact or confused by agent/banker. Insurance company dontwant to own the property. They will pay to BANK upon claim. Your family just need to settle thedifferent, IF, the insurance proceeds is insufficient.
# 4 Try all insurance company is Malaysia. IF you are NOT HIV+, chance still can get MRTAcoverage, may be at higher premium.
# 3 Ask for advice. Fee based RM100/hour. Call 019-243 6946 to make appointment. Fee is 100%

Some bank do not compulsory borrower to purchase mrta to process their loan.funtion of mrta or mltais to cover any debts remain when the borrower face any death or tpd. housing loan and mrta or mlta isdifferent story,hiv person can apply loan,only insurance they maybe hard to apply only. so the personwithout mrta must take their on risk in cover the debts if any thing happen.

Hi all, recently I met up with the loan consultant for a propery which Im buying to discuss the variousloan plans. When we came to the topic of MRTA & MLTA, I told her that I would like to consider
before deciding as Im not sure if the property will be kept for own use or sold off eventually. Her response was that I HAVE to decide by today as she has already sent up a memo.
May I know what did she mean by that? & was it right of her to insist that I make a decision there &then? Since I have already signed the insurance application form, can I refuse to pay the premium in theevent it is approved?
Kindly advise as this is my first time purchaing a property. Thanks.

if she is approaching u to go for MLTA, i believe that she might doing part time as insuranceagent at the same time, u know la, commission thing. if u feel uncomfortable with her altitude,complaint to the bank!
i believe there is a cooling period (eg. you may still call off the deal within certain days after uconfirm/bought something) for your insurance, check with the company, not the girl.

I sell low premium high protection MLTA.Most other sell high premium high commission MLTA.
It is hard to survive if I keep selling low premium-high protection but faith and belief keepme alive. (as well as source of income from cross-selling).
