“Adding Equitable Life to our Insurance Lending Program strengthens our program overall and positions our team to expand our reach across Canada via Advisors and Financial Planners,” said Mahima Poddar, Senior Vice President and Group Head of Personal Banking at Equitable Bank. “Over the past year, we’ve steadily added major insurers to our list of partners, helping us reshape the options that Canadians have when it comes to accessing liquidity via whole life insurance policies. With the addition of the trusted Equitable Life brand to our partner insurer roster, we’re making it even easier for many Canadians to include insurance lending in their financial planning toolkits.”
