1 EBS Mortgage Payment Protection Protect yourself against the unexpected EBS Mortgage Payment Protection is brought to you by EBS and Genworth Financial.

2 If you have a mortgage, think about mortgage payment protection Your mortgage repayment is probably your largest monthly outlay, so, have you ever considered what would happen if you were unable to meet these monthly repayments? EBS Mortgage Payment Protection is a low cost way to protect your home and continue your mortgage payments if you unexpectedly become ill, have an accident or lose your job. How does mortgage payment protection work? When you take out your mortgage, you normally work out an amount that you can comfortably afford to repay each month, based on your current income and outgoings. However, if your circumstances change and you cannot work for more than 30 consecutive days due to accident, sickness or involuntary unemployment*, EBS Mortgage Payment Protection will help you by paying a monthly benefit for a maximum of 12 months, provided you are not working during that period. *Relates to cover provided under Premier Plan, additional cover available under Premier Gold 1 and Premier Gold 2 (see overleaf).

3 What levels of cover are available? If you are taking joint cover, you can decide on the level of cover each of you need, based on your employment circumstances and budget. For example... Say your mortgage repayments are 21,500 per month, you and your partner can choose to cover 100% of your repayments each. In this case, if either of you were unable to work due to illness, an accident or redundancy, your policy would cover the full 21,500. Alternatively, you can choose to split your cover 50/50 i.e each. In this scenario, if either you or your partner were unable to work, your policy would pay 50% of your monthly mortgage repayments i.e The person continuing to work pays the other 50%, as per normal.
