What is the relationship between an insured and the premium
finance company?
By financing their insurance, the insured has entered into a loan contract with
the premium finance company and has given the premium finance the authority to cancel
the financed insurance coverage in the event the insured defaults in making scheduled
loan payments. By financing their insurance, the insured has also given the premium
finance company a security interest in any unearned insurance premiums which, when
received by the premium finance company, are applied to the outstanding loan balance
due from the insured.
What payment options are available for premium financing?
Consist of down payment required, as well as the number of installments to be paid
by the insured which may vary (3,4,6,8,9,10) depending on the insurance policy term.
The complete terms of the premium finance loan including the payment schedule and
the interest rate charged, are reflected on the finance contract.
Who can finance their insurance?
Any insured business or professional practice is eligible to finance their commercial
insurance coverage.
Will a policy be reinstated if payment is made by the insured
after cancellation has been
mailed to the insurance company?
Although a premium finance company can request reinstatement of insurance coverage
it has cancelled, the decision to reinstate can only be made by the Insurance Company.
What is a default?
If you miss a payment, this is known as a default. I you miss a payment, we will
mail you an intent to cancel giving you ten days to bring your account up to date.
Can I view account information and make payment on-line?
Yes to both questions. Our internet account viewing service allows you to get up
to date information on a specific account if you’re an insured or on your whole
production if you are an agent. On-line reporting of production and pending cancellations.
