Shouldn't a mortgage make life easier?
Twenty-five years ago, we challenged traditional banking by creating an all-in-one mortgage, line of credit and bank account to help homeowners take control of their money. Manulife One helps provide Canadians the flexibility to adjust their mortgage payments up or down, be debt free sooner and easily tap into home equity.
Thanks to your support and understanding of how a flexible mortgage can help your clients reach their goals, Manulife One celebrates 25 years and stands apart in the banking landscape.
A better way to mortgage
Through the years, homeowners have embraced Manulife One as an all-in-one account and a better way to manage finances.
They've been guided by mortgage brokers, like you, who recognize how and when Manulife One can help make a difference in people's lives, offering much more flexibility than a traditional mortgage.
"I know how it works, and I really love it. It's one of my favourite products," says Vincent Le Saux, a mortgage broker, and founder and president of Montreal-based lending agency Hypotheques.ca.
Le Saux first became familiar with Manulife One about 12 years ago as a client, and he used his Manulife One last year to finance an investment property near Montreal. He often uses his own Manulife One as an example to help clients better visualize how the account can be used and structured.
"It's so different from traditional mortgages, some customers need to see for themselves," says Le Saux. For instance, as a property investor, he likes the ability to track part of his debt separately for tax purposes. With Manulife One, he can easily do that.
Grow your business with Manulife One
As a mortgage professional and problem-solver, Le Saux aims to help clients build their future with his firm. So, when long-time clients approached him about refinancing their home to help make a dream come true, he introduced them to Manulife One. "They told me it was to help them have a baby," says Le Saux.
For the couple, both professionals in their mid-30s, the decision to start a family was as much financial as emotional. After they learned that insurance would not cover the reimbursement of thousands of dollars in medical expenses for their surrogate, they decided to borrow against the equity they’d built up in their home.
"This story is nice. There are a lot of things you can use a Manulife One for in your life. It's out of the box. It was really the perfect product in this situation; much cheaper than going with a private lender, and very efficient," says Le Saux.
To the couple's delight, all went as planned, and daughter Louise was born in May 2024. "I was the first one invited to see the baby, by the way," says Le Saux.
Making clients' decisions easier and lives better
With the wave of renewals expected over the next 12-18 months, Canadians will be shopping for a mortgage that will allow them to live their lives, their way. Manulife One has the features that matter most to customers right now:
