In the event that you pass away[@covermortgageofdeath] before paying off your mortgage, this plan will give your family or any beneficiaries a cash lump sum, which you may use to repay all or part of the mortgage. It decreases annually in accordance with the policy term. You will also get an assumed mortgage interest rate at 8% p.a.

The sum insured may not match the outstanding mortgage amount, as the decreasing rate of the sum insured may not be equal to the rate of your mortgage.

Please review your policy regularly to check that it still meets your needs, and provides adequate protection coverage for your mortgage.

It is not a bank deposit or bank savings plan. Please refer to the product brochure for detailed features and the policy provisions for the detailed terms and conditions.

HSBC Life is incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability, and is one of the HSBC Group's insurance underwriting subsidiaries.

This product is a product of HSBC Life but not HSBC and it is intended only for sale in the Hong Kong SAR. If the policyholder discontinues and / or surrenders the insurance plan in the early policy years, the amount of the benefit he / she will get back may be considerably less than the amount of the premium he / she has paid.

Your recourse is against HSBC Life only.

In respect of an eligible dispute (as defined in the Terms of Reference for the Financial Dispute Resolution Centre in relation to the Financial Dispute Resolution Scheme) arising between HSBC and you out of the selling process or processing of the related transaction, HSBC is required to enter into a Financial Dispute Resolution Scheme process with you; however, any dispute over the contractual terms of the above insurance product should be resolved between HSBC Life and you directly.
