MPPI - an overview
MPPI is a type of insurance policy designed to protect your mortgage repayments in the event you become unable to work due to accident, sickness or unemployment. In the event of a successful claim, the insurer would pay a monthly benefit to your mortgage account until you return to work, or until the maximum monthly benefit payments for any one claim have been made.
Did Skipton offer MPPI on its mortgages?
Yes, we used to offer MPPI, sometimes called Accident, Sickness and Unemployment cover (ASU). The monthly MPPI premium would be paid alongside the monthly mortgage payment. No interest was charged on the insurance premium where payment was made on the due date. The policy could be cancelled at any time.
