What is term life insurance?

Scotia Term life insurance can help provide financial protection for your loved ones for a period of time if you should pass away.

It is flexible life insurance coverage that can help to cover short-term or longer-term debts like car loans and mortgage loans, pay for other expenses like school tuition and small business planning or help with family income replacement.
