The UAE offers expats a fresh start, with career opportunities and financial perks like tax-free income. But with new beginnings come new responsibilities.

That’s why life insurance and mortgage insurance (Loan Protect) are more than just options, they’re important steps in protecting your loved ones and building long-term financial security.

Why Life Insurance Is Essential for Expats

Protect Your Family, Even When You’re Not There

Life insurance provides financial support to your family if something happens to you. It helps cover important costs, like living expenses, school fees, and daily needs , so your loved ones don’t face added stress during a difficult time.

Life insurance can help you:

  • Provide income for your family after your death.

  • Cover major expenses like education or rent.

  • Handle medical or emergency costs.

  • Plan ahead for critical illness or disability.

“Living away from your home country means less access to public benefits or extended family support . Making life insurance even more important for expats.”

Mortgage Insurance (Loan Protect): Secure Your Home

What Happens to Your Home Loan If You're Not Around?

Buying a home in the UAE is a big milestone for many expats. But if you're no longer there to pay the mortgage, it can become a burden on your family.

Mortgage insurance, or Loan Protect, is designed to pay off your home loan if you pass away. This ensures your family keeps the home,  without added debt or worry.

Benefits of mortgage life insurance:

  • Pays off your mortgage balance in full.

  • Keep your home in the family.

  • Eases financial pressure during a difficult time.Offers peace of mind that your investment is protected.
