What’s the difference between Mortgage Protection Insurance and Private Mortgage Insurance from the Banks?

Unlike Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), which protects banks, MPI is a form of life insurance that protects homeowners and their families if a health issue arises and they become disabled or experience a long period of unemployment. In a worst-case scenario, this type of coverage can pay off the balance of the mortgage if the homeowner passes away.
