Maulife Oe A Overview Most Caadias maage their fiaces by doig two thigs: 1. Depositig their icome ad other short-term assets ito chequig ad savigs accouts. 2. Borrowig whe they eed to, through mortgages, lies of credit, persoal loas ad credit cards. Souds simple eough. Ufortuately, they usually receive low or o iterest o the moey they deposit, while they pay high iterest o the moey they borrow. Would t it make more sese if the deposits ad borrowigs were combied? Why ot have every dollar you ear payig dow your debts util you eed to sped that moey? Maulife Oe does just that ad more. It brigs your mortgage, savigs ad icome together ito oe multipurpose borrowig ad chequig accout. Now, your icome ca istatly reduce what you have borrowed. As you pay bills ad other expeses throughout the moth, the amout you owe will slowly go back up, but as log as your icome exceeds your expeses, you ll still be much further ahead. With Maulife Oe, every day that eve a dollar of your icome stays i your accout, you have less debt ad so you pay less iterest. With eve oe extra dollar of your icome i your Maulife Oe accout, you have less debt tha you did before ad so you pay less iterest.

How Maulife Oe works The idea behid Maulife Oe is simple: havig your icome ad savigs work harder to reduce your total debt faster. Cosolidate your debts Whe you ope a Maulife Oe accout, you could borrow up to 80%* of the appraised value of your home. Use this moey to pay off the balace of your existig mortgage ad ay other outstadig loas you might have ad lower your iterest costs at the same time. Put your savigs to work If you re tired of earig little or o iterest o your chequig accout, savigs balaces ad short-term ivestmets, Maulife Oe ca help put that moey to work for you. It applies those balaces agaist your borrowigs, istatly reducig your total debt... ad savig you much more i iterest costs tha you d likely ever make i iterest earigs. Ad, you ca access that moey wheever you eed it (up to your borrowig limit). Put your icome to work By addig your regular icome to your Maulife Oe accout, you further reduce your debt the istat the deposit is made. Your icome is immediately workig for you to help reduce loa iterest costs util you eed it for your mothly expeses. With eve oe extra dollar of your icome i your accout, you reduce your debt faster so you pay less iterest. *If you set up a Maulife Oe accout ad request a credit limit betwee 65% ad 80% of the value of your home, a amout equal to the portio of your credit limit above 65% of the value of your home must be put ito a term subaccout i which the credit limit of your overall accout decreases by the amout of the pricipal paymet. You ca the allocate your remaiig debt how you wish you ca leave it i the Mai Accout or set up additioal sub-accouts. Example The Corells have a home worth $350,000 with a $220,000 mortgage. They also have a car loa, a small lie of credit, a credit card ad some short-term savigs. They cosolidate their debt ad ope a Maulife Oe accout with a iitial debt balace of $245,000. Next, they add the moey from their savigs ($6,000) ad chequig ($3,000) accouts to lower their total Maulife Oe debt to $236,000. After reviewig their optios with a Bakig Cosultat, the Corells decide to request credit limit of $280,000. This gives them access to $44,000 at ay time, should they eed it. They also choose to put $52,500 i a 5-year closed term sub-accout at 3.20% for two reasos. First, they thik iterest rates will go up i the future ad they wat to lock i a portio of their debt at the curret rate. Secod, by allocatig part of their debt to a term sub-accout i which the credit limit of their overall accout decreases by the amout of the pricipal paymet they esure they will reduce their debt through the disciplied paymet schedule.
