- if with existing life insurance, no need to secure another life insurance unless,
- your "pre-granted" loan amount is higher than the amount insured;
- Amount insured should equate or at least be with the similar amount but to be less than the loan
- In cases that the amount insured is lesser than the loan amount, secure another life insurance plan to suffice the principal amount.
- If the amount insured in a single Life insurance Policy is way higher than the loan amount, a portion of it will just be used to pay the bank in case of the borrower's death.
