  • Claims advice - In the event of a claim, a dedicated client manager is available to make sure you understand the implications and procedures involved in the claim.

  • Emergency claims service - Our insurance companies provide claims assistance 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
  • Convenient payment options - You can choose the payment option you prefer, including a monthly pre-authorized payment plan with no service charges for a potential 3 percent savings (except in Quebec).
