Complete the following fields to set up credit life insurance for the member loan.

Field Description

Credit Life Coverage Type

The type of credit life insurance or group loan protection coverage.

The Credit Life Insurance check box in the Insurance section on the Credit Union Profile – Loans tab indicates whether Portico calculates and posts credit life insurance (CLI) during the month-end back-office cycle. The Contract field in the Insurance group box on the Loan Profiles – Additional Information tab specifies the type of Credit Life Insurance contract available for this loan type.

On member-pay insurance loan types that are not covered, leave this field blank.

If the Contract field in the Insurance group box on the Loan Profiles – Additional Information tab indicates group-pay loan protection (option 1, 2, 3), the Life Coverage Option field on the New Loan – Setup tab defaults to the code in the Protection field in the Insurance group box on the Loan Profiles – Additional Information tab.

The valid options are:

Group-pay Loan Protection:

Valid codes for the FIRST digit are:

0 = Member is not qualified

1 = Personal loan

2 = Real estate loan

3 = Charged-off loan

4 = Other type of loan

Valid codes for the SECOND digit are:

0 = Loan is covered

1 - 9 = Loan disqualified - credit union-defined

A - F = Loan disqualified - credit union-defined

Member-pay Loan Protection:

Valid codes for the FIRST digit are:

0=No coverage

1=Single Life-loan add-on - owner

2=Single Life-share withdrawal - owner

3=Joint Life-loan add-on - owner

4=Joint Life-share withdrawal - owner

5=Excess Credit Life - loan add-on

6=Excess Credit Life - share withdrawal

E=Single Life - loan add-on - co-borrower

F=Single Life - share withdrawal - co-borrower

G=Joint Life-loan add-on - 2 co-borrowers

H=Joint Life-share withdrawal - 2 co-borrowers

The SECOND digit must be blank.

Note: The above codes are valid only if Portico calculates and posts the premiums. If Portico sends a transmission to the insurance company who then calculates and returns a transmission to Portico for posting, use the codes provided by the insurance company.

Note: If a value of E, F, G, or H is chosen for insurance coverage on the New Loan –Setup tab, the New Loan - Borrower Information tab will automatically appear for the borrower's information to be completed. The loan will not book without the borrower information.

If the Credit Life Insurance is member-pay or member and credit union-pay, Portico uses the 485 Report. If you pay the entire premium for the Credit Life Insurance (group-pay), Portico calculates and posts the premiums using the Group Loan Protection Insurance Report 480.

The total premium payment for a loan is calculated by multiplying the loan's insurable balance by the appropriate premium rate. The rate used depends on the type of coverage for the loan, single life or joint life. To determine the member’s premium payment, Portico calculates the total premium for the loan, multiplies it by the credit union's percentage (if any), rounds to the nearest cent and subtracts this credit union-paid amount from the total premium.

The premium can be paid by share withdrawal or loan add-on:

  • Share Withdrawal
    The amount of the premium is withdrawn from the member's lowest numbered share account. The member’s share account is debited and the accounts payable GL (801910) is credited. If the member's available share balance is less than the amount required for premium payment, the calculated premium appears on the 485 Report with a message indicating the premium was uncollectible from the share account. Portico will not attempt to obtain the funds from any other share accounts.
  • Loan Add-on
    The amount of the premium is added to the member's loan for which the premium is calculated. The member’s loan is debited and the accounts payable GL (801910) is credited. If a loan is delinquent, the loan add-on will still be allowed. The credit union is responsible for stopping a member's coverage if a loan is delinquent.

The 580 and 584 Report Rules contain the processing criteria for CLI premiums calculated by the insurance company.
