Point of Sale Collateral Insurance

POSCI
 
Auto Insurance for Subprime Loans
 
THE NEED
  • Lenders require the customer to provide insurance to protect their interest in the financed vehicle
  • Up to 75% of non-prime customers entering a dealership do not have insurance coverage
  • The customer buys short term coverage (a binder) to get the loan closed, and the coverage cancels shortly thereafter for non-payment of premium
  • The lender ends up with an uninsured loan with the potential for physical damage losses and charge-off
 
THE SOLUTION - Point of Sale Collateral Insurance
  • The dealer/lender utilizes a web-based system to help the customer meet the physical damage insurance requirements of the loan.
  • Provides insurance protection for the lender to reduce insurance-related losses and charge-offs
  • Reduces repossessions - the coverage repairs vehicles, keeps the customer paying the loan payment
  • Increases the profit of the loan
  • Greatly reduces the need for insurance tracking
  • Term of insurance coverage is tailored to fit the lender’s needs
  • Increases interest income for the lender
  • Eliminates delays in funding for insurance verification
  • Lower out-of-pocket expense for the customer so there is more down payment and/or dealer profit available
  • Convenient payment process for the customer - the insurance is financed as part of the loan
  • Liability insurance available for states requiring coverage
 
LENDER BENEFITS
  • Immediate protection for Loan/Vehicle at loan origination
  • Borrower cannot cancel coverage unless he provides evidence of acceptable other insurance
  • Coverage is paid by the borrower as part of the loan payment
  • Cash Flow Benefit - premium is financed as part of the loan, yet the lender pays for the coverage monthly to insurer, therefore increasing the loan yield
  • Increased interest income from financed insurance costs
  • No expenses or hassles like traditional track and place collateral insurance programs
  • Insurance coverage term determined by the lender, not the borrower
  • Happy Dealers - solution for insurance protection that is quick, easy and speeds up funding
