Two ways to protect your paycheque

Life insurance has a clear value—protecting your family if you were to pass away. But what if a serious injury or illness kept you from work? That’s where health insurance such as RBC disability and critical illness insurance comes in. Both help to protect your paycheque—and your savings—until you are able to get back to work again.

Disability Insurance

Income protection if you can’t work

An unexpected injury or illness can happen to the healthiest of us. Disability insurance can help, by covering your monthly bills if you need to take time off work to get better.

Critical Illness Insurance

A financial cushion to help you recover

While the chances of surviving a life-altering illness today are excellent, a long recovery can deplete your savings. Critical illness insurance can help, with a payment you can use to cover bills or medical services.
