Debt protection
A flexible way to protect you and your borrowers
Sudden, life-altering events can cause financial hardship for your borrowers, making it difficult for them to make loan payments.
Debt protection is a contractual agreement between your financial institution and your borrowers to cancel or suspend all or part of the obligation to repay a loan due to specified events, such as death, disability and involuntary unemployment.
More flexible than insurance
Debt protection programs are lending products that offer an alternative to traditional loan protection programs.
Because debt protection is not an insurance product, you have greater flexibility in program design and pricing. Offering debt protection products to borrowers does not require insurance licensing.
