Program pricing is dependent on the unit volume and the selection of plan features.

Pricing includes both the primary borrower and co-borrower. This means that everyone on the mortgage is covered under the same price, making it a comprehensive solution for all parties involved. Coverage includes Fully Managed Recovery for children.

*To provide a clearer picture, consider the above example: the sample pricing given is calculated based on the assumption of 500 closed loans per month. However, it's important to note that plans are flexible and can be modified to accommodate specific needs or budget constraints. Ultimately, the cost of the plan will be determined by both its design and unit volume.
