According to Resolution No. 66 of 2025 by the Financial Regulatory Commission, starting from August 1, 2025, a new regulation has come into effect requiring mortgage loan borrowers to obtain life insurance exclusively through long-term insurance companies.

Under this new regulation, individuals who are taking out a mortgage loan for the first time, as well as those whose current insurance contracts have expired and need to be renewed, will be required to enroll in long-term life insurance products.

Currently, borrowers typically choose standard insurance services, which only provide coverage for accidental death. However, the main causes of death among people are illness-related, and common conditions such as stroke and cancer are not covered by the insurance.

The financial risk for mortgage borrowers is directly linked not only to stable income but also to health. If a borrower dies due to illness and is unable to receive compensation, the remaining loan balance must be paid by the co-borrower. Furthermore, if repayment is not possible, the property may be repossessed, placing the borrower’s family under financial strain and risking homelessness.

In contrast, long-term life insurance is a life insurance product that provides compensation equal to the outstanding loan balance if the borrower faces a risk during the validity period of the insurance contract. Specifically, according to the contract, if the borrower dies or suffers a permanent disability of 70% or more due to any illness – including chronic diseases, cancer, or sudden accidents – the insurance company will fully cover the remaining loan balance, protecting you from potential financial risks.

This insurance is reinsured by a foreign company, which ensures reliable claim payments. In addition, it provides 24/7 worldwide protection without any time or geographical restrictions. Furthermore, you have the option to pay the insurance premium either as a one-time payment or annually, according to the terms that suit you best. The premium is uniquely calculated based on your age, gender, loan term, and other factors, making it personalized just for you.
