Term life also offers the advantage of being able to name the beneficiary, as well as the option of choosing a term life policy that converts into whole life insurance at the end of the term without having to reapply for coverage. Consult with a licensed broker as well as comparing quotes online. It's important to remember that bank mortgage insurance is intended to protect the bank should something happen to you; term life insurance protects your interests.</p> A cheaper alternative to bank mortgage insurance is to use a term life insurance policy.

BofA's rates are way too high relative to what others can offer. I agree, this doesn’t excite me too much. BofA’s rates are way too high relative to what others can offer.

They are usually in the top tier. I see this offer similar to their $0 commission trading: the idea is good, but the bar is too high ($25K deposit with them at a very low rate). For mortgage, I think rate is the most important factor. If BoA's rate is alway 1% higher than others, I don't see why people want to use them. Of course, people may feel safer to deal like a large bank than a small player.

One additional condition is that they tent to have early payoff penalties. For some, a refi in the first 2 years causes a penalty of 2-3% of the mortgage balance. So either you keep the mortgage and pay the fees in an increased rate, or you refi and pay a big penalty.So either way, you WILL end up paying the fees in no-fee mortgages.
