Debt protection

Creating flexibility for you and your borrowers

Debt protection can help create a well-rounded financial safety net for your borrowers by cancelling all or part of an outstanding loan balance if certain protected events were to occur.

Debt protection programs are lending products that offer an alternative to traditional loan protection programs. And because they cancel all or part of the outstanding loan debt, the risk associated with lending is minimized.

Adding value for you and your borrowers

Debt protection helps borrowers by:

  • Allowing them to reallocate funds for other needs
  • Protecting their credit rating
  • Reducing risk of default and loss of collateral

Helps your financial institution by:

  • Providing products your customers need
  • Reducing loan defaults and delinquencies
  • Generating non-interest income

Loan types and payment options

Securian Financial’s programs cover many loan types, including:

  • Closed-end consumer loans
  • Revolving lines of credit and credit cards
  • Home equity loans and lines
  • Commercial and agricultural loans

Depending on the loan type, Securian offers two types of payment options:

Single premium

Premium is based on loan amount, paid upfront at time of loan and the fee may be refundable if paid-off early.

Monthly outstanding balance

Monthly premium is based on the outstanding balance each month and is “pay as you go” and added to the monthly payment.
