Liability Insurance for Mortgage Brokers

How Mortgage Brokers Can Protect Themselves With Insurance

Mortgage brokers are currently in high demand in the Ontario area, but any broker would be mistake to do business with PLI mortgage brokers insurance. Professional liability mortgage brokers insurance or E&O mortgage brokers insurance is without a doubt a complete necessity, as it can offer you the protection that you need in a variety of unique situations. That being said, it is always recommended by any insurance professional to combine this coverage with general commercial liability insurance as well. With these two policies you can put your mind at ease and focus on servicing your customers.

As a mortgage broker you basically work as a middleman mediating loans between your clients and a variety of different banks. Regardless, if you are at fault or not, if your customer thinks that you have done something to damage them financially they can take legal action against you. This is exactly when mortgage brokers insurance will protect you. Commercial general liability insurance on the other hand is a different coverage, but it can protect you just as equally as much. If someone tries to sue you for slander or copyright infringement, you can utilize this policy to cover yourself. For instance, if you can’t get a customer approved for a loan they might try to accuse you of slandering their name, even though they have extremely bad credit.

 

We recommend having atleast $1,000,000 worth of PLI coverage along with $1,000,000 CGL coverage for any mortgage business. Our rates start from $700/year for both policies.

Speak to a broker and find your exact rate online. Make sure to ask your broker about the application process for getting for business insurance.
