In Malaysia, there are two types of mortgage life insurance available –
Mortgage Reducing Term Assurance (MRTA) or Mortgage Level Term Assurance (MLTA).
However, MRTA and MLTA are often misunderstood.
Which do you need as a homeowner? The table below is a comparison of the two policies.
Why should you buy MLTA over MRTA?
MLTA is a slight variation from MRTA and offers an alternative for a borrower who is looking for a life insurance
which offers protection, plus savings, plus returns on the premium.
In a nutshell MLTA offers level/consistent protection, allow you to buy/sell property using the same MLTA protection & offer cash back and interest comparing to MRTA.
MRTA’s Disadvantages:
-
Protection decreases annually Floating BLR rate = may cause insufficient coverage & need continuous housing loan
-
No Cash Value
-
Not Transferable To A New Property
-
Can’t Help You Save on Loan Interest & Shorten Loan Tenure
MLTA’s Advantages:
-
Level Term Protection

Guaranteed Cash Value
-
Transferable To A New Property
-
Help You Save on Loan Interest & Shorten Loan Tenure
Also please note that most of the times, it is not compulsory to buy MRTA from the bank that you get the housing loan with,
if the banker tell you so please get in touch with me. We can arrange an appointment for the matter.
