Understanding insurance delegation

Insurance delegation allows you to take out a loan insurance with the insurer of your choice. The only condition imposed by the bank is that this new contract must offer a level of guarantees at least equivalent to its own. This freedom of choice is the main lever to significantly reduce the total cost of your mortgage.

Guarantees not to be overlooked

Un bon contrat d'assurance emprunteur doit couvrir plusieurs risques majeurs :

  • Death and TPD (Total and Permanent Disability): the foundation of all contracts.
  • Disability and Incapacity (TTD, PTD, PPD): essential guarantees to protect your income.
  • "Psy/back" options: coverage for psychological and back disorders, often excluded from basic contracts.

Group insurance vs. Delegation: The comparison

The choice isn't just about the price. Here are the main differences:

Criterion Bank insurance (group) External insurance (delegation)
Tarification Shared, often less advantageous for young people or risk-free profiles. ✅ **Individuelle**, basée sur votre profil réel. Souvent bien moins chère.
Garanties Standardisées, peu personnalisables. ✅ **Sur-mesure**, vous pouvez choisir des garanties renforcées selon vos besoins.
Flexibilité None. You are subscribing to a unique contract. ✅ **Totale**. Vous êtes libre de choisir et de changer de contrat à tout moment.

The only way to know the potential savings is to compare. Our free simulator provides a reliable overview of the best market offers in just a few clicks.

Questions fréquentes sur l'assurance emprunteur

? Puis-je changer d'assurance en cours de prêt ?

Yes. The Lemoine law allows you to change your loan insurance at any time, from the day after the signing of your loan offer, without any fees or penalties.

? Can my bank refuse my insurance delegation?

No, as long as the contract you propose adheres to the equivalence of guarantees. The bank cannot penalize you (e.g., by increasing your credit rate) if you choose an external insurance.

? Qu'est-ce que la quotité d'assurance ?

The quota is the portion of the capital that the insurance commits to repay. If you borrow alone, it must be 100%. For two borrowers, the total quotas (e.g., 50/50 or 100/100) must be at least 100%.
