Prospr by Sun Life is a modern way of protecting clients, often with better coverage and less expensive options than traditional mortgage insurance.

Why Prospr?

Better protection and more flexibility for your clients
Traditional mortgage insurance – also called creditor insurance – helps cover your client's mortgage if something happens. If they get sick or die, it pays the lender some or all of the remaining balance of your mortgage. You don’t get to decide who gets the money.

A mortgage protection solution from Prospr is different. The money from a claim goes to loved ones to use as needed. Coverage doesn’t change just because client pays off mortgage or changes lenders.

Automated in Finmo

There's full functionality built into Finmo, so you can easily send referrals through. Once you've sent a referral, there is a column on the Finmo deal dashboard to keep you updated on the status.

$ The Prospr referral bonus

By referring your clients to Prospr, you can earn $850 while helping protect your clients and the ones they love.

You can however earn more! If you refer both a borrower and a co-borrower and they both get a policy you can get paid for BOTH. You could earn $1,700 per application!
