Combine all your lender-placed insurance with one provider

Loan Protector, a leader in lender-placed hazard and flood insurance, would like to help. The following is a brief description and explanation of how Loan Protector will facilitate your use of the NFIP.

Why use the Loan Protector program?
Since all flood insurance carriers in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) provide the same product at the same rate, the differences between carriers are customer service and value-added services. Loan Protector is known for its excellent customer service. In addition, we are able to provide the following services for our clients:

- Same-day quotes and application processing
- Standard or life-of-loan Flood Zone Determinations
- Standard or life-of-loan portfolio audits
- Internet access to your flood insurance information
 
What is the NFIP?
The National Flood Insurance Program is charged by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) to help reduce flood losses. Until the NFIP, flood insurance was difficult to find in the private market. Uninsured flood losses were a large drain on Federal Disaster Relief Funds. The NFIP is a nationally regulated program that enables a property that is located in a special Flood Zone to obtain flood insurance.
 
Who underwrites Flood Insurance?
NFIP flood insurance is underwritten by our insurance carriers called WYO (Write Your Own) companies. All policy terms and conditions, as well as rates, are the same for all NFIP-underwritten insurance. Obtaining your flood insurance through Loan Protector helps your borrowers retain lower rates.
