Physical Damage Insurance for Creditors, Lenders and Lessors

What is Collateral Protection Insurance?

Collateral Protection Insurance, or CPI, insures property for physical damage that is held as collateral for credit agreements, loans, and leases.
CPI is also known as force-placed insurance or lender’s placed insurance.
Collateral Protection Insurance may be single-interest insurance if it protects the interest of the creditor only, or dual-interest coverage if it protects the interest of the creditor and the borrower.
CPI insures the creditor’s interest in the collateral for physical damage and unrecovered theft.

How Does CPI Work?

We issue a collateral protection insurance policy to your finance company.
You add the customer’s vehicle to your CPI policy.

1. When your customer fails to provide proof of, or does not having physical damage coverage insurance for your collateral as required in the credit agreement.
2. Your customer asks to have CPI placed. CPI will fulfill the physical damage insurance requirements in the credit agreement. (Sometimes CPI can be the less expensive option for the customer, than purchasing physical damage insurance in the open market.)

You provide the state required notices and certificates of insurance to the customer for placing CPI. (Some states require you to keep proof of mailing for these forms)
You set up a payment schedule to bill the customer for your cost of the CPI.
The customer must obtain and maintain liability insurance on the vehicle as required by the State. Collateral Protection Insurance does not provide bodily injury, no fault or liability insurance and does not comply with any state financial responsibility.
CPI is voluntary. Your customer can cancel the collateral protection insurance at any time, by providing proof of acceptable insurance to the you. (You refund the customer any unused or wrongly placed CPI premium funds.)
