What benefits does automating insurance tracking have for lenders?
Using software to automate insurance tracking has multiple benefits for lenders. Some of the most important ones are:
- Current Information: Automating tracking helps ensure that lenders have current information about borrowers’ insurance. Lenders learn of any breaches more quickly than they likely would with a manual system.
- Reduced Risk: Having the most current information available allows lenders to promptly take action when they need to, minimizing any periods without coverage and thereby reducing risk.
- Operational Efficiency: Eliminating the need for employees to manually track borrowers’ coverage can reduce labor costs. Alternatively, employees could use the freed-up time to improve customer service or pursue more sales.
- Regulatory Compliance: Automating processes and setting up timely notifications can help lenders ensure they comply with any regulatory requirements.
In order to remain in compliance with regulatory requirements, it’s especially important for lenders to work with a lender-specific tracking platform. Regulations can vary by state and loan program. A lender-specific platform will make it easy to set up all applicable regulations for different states and/or loans.
Do insurance tracking platforms let lenders automatically institute force-placed coverage?
A lender tracking platform normally only provides information about borrowers’ coverage. Tracking software, itself, usually isn’t set up to automatically institute force-placed coverage if borrowers fail to maintain coverage.
Software can easily be paired with more comprehensive services that can include instituting force-placed coverage, however. This more comprehensive approach makes not just monitoring coverage, but also making sure coverage is in place, easy.
Lenders might choose to use just tracking software if they want a more affordable way of monitoring borrowers’ insurance. They might choose to pair software and other services if they want a more comprehensive solution to maintaining coverage.
