Offer borrowers optional protection for eligible personal property and vehicles securing their loans. 

 

Give borrowers another way to protect their property by securing their loans while helping protect your financial institution’s interest in that collateral. Allied Solutions’ Credit Property Protection provides optional, $0-deductible coverage for eligible personal property and vehicles purchased with loan proceeds and pledged as collateral. 

 

Coverage can help pay for covered loss or damage from events such as fire, theft and other specified perils. Depending on the property and coverage selected, the policy can protect the financial institution’s interest alone or both the financial institution’s and borrower’s interests. 

 

Credit Property Protection applies across a wide range of eligible collateral, including appliances, furniture, electronics, musical instruments, lawn and garden equipment, and personal-use vehicles, giving financial institutions a flexible way to offer additional protection alongside eligible secured loans.

Coverage can also apply to private passenger vehicles used as collateral, subject to applicable restrictions and coverage terms.

How does Credit Property Protection work?

Credit Property Protection provides coverage when insured collateral is damaged or stolen because of a covered peril. Depending on the coverage selected, single-interest coverage protects the creditor’s interest, while dual-interest coverage protects both the creditors and debtor’s interests. The coverage has no deductible, and liability is subject to the applicable limit shown in the policy or certificate.

Credit Property Protection can cover a range of personal property serving as collateral, including home appliances, furniture, sports equipment, garden and lawn equipment, photographic equipment, electronic entertainment equipment, musical instruments, and home workshop tools. Coverage may also apply to private passenger vehicles used as collateral, subject to applicable restrictions. 

What risks does Credit Property Protection cover?

Covered perils vary by the type of collateral. For personal property, covered perils may include fire or lightning, windstorm or hail, explosion, riot or civil disturbance, smoke, flood, certain appliance damage, and robbery or burglary with evidence of forced entry. Vehicle coverage may include fire, total theft, collision, or overturning.

Is Credit Property Protection required when making a loan?

Coverage terms, exclusions, licensing requirements, and availability vary by state.
