🚨 Coming soon under the MSA: Mandatory E&O with fraud coverage

When the Mortgage Services Act comes into force this October, all licensed mortgage brokerages in BC will need errors & omission insurance with fraud coverage.

Key requirements:
✔️ $500K per claim / $1M aggregate minimum
✔️ Three-year tail coverage after merger, wind-up, suspension, or cancellation
✔️ Coverage in one province won’t reduce requirements in another

Don’t get caught unprepared. The MSA comes into force on October 13, 2026!

The Bank of Canada announced today that it is holding its key interest rate at 2.25% once again, the seventh straight announcement without a change.

For many British Columbians hoping to buy their first home, that means the wait for relief continues.

“We understand that caution is required in the current trade environment, but affordability remains a significant challenge for British Columbians," says CMBA-BC President Tricia McIntosh. "To meet the development and housing targets in our province, we need economic conditions that give people greater confidence in their ability to purchase a home.”
