Loan default risk insurance

Cover for the part of a loan not secured by collateral

The bank is both the policyholder and the beneficiary. If the borrower defaults, the insurer covers the portion not secured by collateral on first demand. The premium is paid by the borrower: rates from 0.2%.

What the policy covers

For banks and credit institutions

The policy covers the bank's loss from the borrower's default on the credit agreement, within the sum insured.

Principal

The loan amount advanced to the borrower under the credit agreement and not repaid within the agreed period.

Interest and overdue debt

Interest accrued on the principal and all interest accrued for the period of overdue indebtedness.

Fees, default interest and penalties

Fees, default interest and penalties charged to the borrower under the terms of the credit agreement.

Loan origination costs

All financial costs the bank incurred in advancing the loan, provided they are included in the sum insured.

Discuss the terms

The sum insured is derived from your credit agreement

When an insured event occurs

Three conditions at once

Every notification is reviewed against the credit agreement, the documents evidencing the debt and the information on the borrower.

The borrower failed to perform

The borrower did not repay the principal, the accrued interest and other payments under the credit agreement, and the bank suffered a loss.

The waiting period has expired

Thirty calendar days have passed since the payment date in the repayment schedule; the following day is treated as the date of loss.

The loss is documented

The bank notified the insurer in writing and attached the claim, the policy, the borrower's balance sheet and evidence of the debt.

From the borrower's missed payment to the payment to the bank

The contract covers the risk that the borrower fails to perform under the credit agreement. Compensation is paid within the sum insured.

The premium is paid by the borrower, and the bank is named as the beneficiary. The pledged asset itself is not covered — for that there is collateral property insurance.

Headquarters of a modern commercial bank
01

Missed payment

The borrower failed to make a payment under the repayment schedule: principal, interest or other charges.

02

Waiting period

Thirty calendar days are counted from the payment date. The day following their expiry is recognised as the date of loss.

03

Notice and documents

The bank notifies the insurer in writing and submits the claim, the policy, the borrower's balance sheet and evidence of the debt.

04

Decision and payment

The insurer reviews the documents within 5 working days, draws up the report and transfers the compensation within 5 banking days.

Three parties to the contract

The contract is signed by the insurer, the bank and the borrower: one party pays, another is protected.

01

The bank — policyholder and beneficiary. Enters into the contract and receives the compensation. It is named as the beneficiary in the policy.

02

The borrower — payer of the premium. Pays the premium and carries its own obligations under the insurance contract.

03

The insurer — EUROASIA Insurance. Covers the uncollateralised part on first demand, the rest once the pledged assets are sold.

04

Joint and several liability. The insurer and the borrower are jointly and severally liable to the bank.

05

Transfer of the right of claim. After the payment the claim against the borrower passes to the insurer.

06

Recoveries above the payment. From any recoveries the insurer takes the payment and costs; the rest stays with the bank.

The contract runs for the term of the credit agreement. Amendments and termination require a written agreement of all three parties.

What the policy costs

The premium is a percentage of the sum insured for the whole loan term, not per year: the longer the loan, the higher the rate.

Loans up to 1 year from 0.2% rate for the whole loan term working capital and short tranches

Working capital facilities, short purpose tranches and credit lines within a single year.

Loans of 1–3 years 2–3% rate for the whole loan term the core corporate book

The most common term in corporate lending: the base rate under the contract where the bank is the policyholder is 2.4%.

Loans over 3 years from 3% rate for the whole loan term investment and project finance

Long investment and project deals: the longer the horizon, the higher the rate.

The figures are indicative and do not constitute an offer. A specialist calculates the exact sum insured and rate from the credit agreement and the borrower's details.

What the sum insured includes

the principal under the credit agreement that the borrower failed to repay on time

interest accrued on the principal and interest for the period of overdue indebtedness

fees, default interest and penalties charged under the credit agreement

the bank's financial costs connected with advancing the loan

The uncollateralised part is paid on first demand, the rest once the pledged assets are sold. The payment never exceeds the sum insured.

When the insurer may decline

the borrower or the bank supplied inaccurate or false information that makes it impossible to assess the risk and the size of the loss

the terms of the credit agreement were breached by deliberate acts or omissions of the bank

unlawful or fraudulent acts of the bank have been established in the manner prescribed by law

the loan term was extended without written notice to the insurer

the borrower failed to pay the premium in the amount and by the date set out in the contract

the loan proceeds were used by the borrower for purposes other than those agreed

the bank seeks reimbursement of its own court costs incurred in defending its interests

The full list of grounds for declining a claim is set by the contract and the legislation.

Deadlines that matter

30 banking days for the borrower to pay the premium after the contract is signed
30 calendar days the waiting period from the scheduled payment date; the next day is the date of loss
5 working days to decide whether the event is recognised as insured once the documents are reviewed
5 banking days to pay the compensation to the bank from the date the report is signed

What this policy does not cover, and what does

The policy answers for the borrower's ability to pay, not for the fate of any asset. The rest is insured separately.

Loss of or damage to the collateral

Fire, natural disaster, flooding or theft that costs the bank the pledged asset.

Collateral property insurance

The borrower's property and equipment

The borrower's buildings, premises, machinery and stock are insured as business property, not through credit risk.

Business property insurance

Harm to third parties

Damage the borrower's operations cause to outside people and companies is covered by a general third-party liability policy.

General third-party liability

Other risks in the deal

Cargo in transit, contractor liability, the borrower's own staff — each risk has its own contract in the range.

What is needed for the quote and the contract

Documents and details of the deal

The basis is the credit agreement and the borrower's details. It forms an annex to the insurance contract.

Credit agreement

The agreement between the bank and the borrower: it sets the term, the repayment schedule and the composition of the obligations.

Details of the borrower

The name and details of a corporate borrower, or the personal details of an individual borrower.

Security for the loan

The pledge agreement, if one has been concluded, and the valuation of the pledged assets: what the collateral does not cover is what gets insured.

Calculation of the sum insured

The size of the unsecured portion: principal, interest, fees, default interest, penalties and loan origination costs.

Term and repayment schedule

The term of the credit agreement and the repayment schedule — they drive the insurance period and the premium rate.

Currency of the loan

If the loan is advanced in a foreign currency, the sum insured is stated both in that currency and in soum.

How the contract is arranged

Four steps

The contract is tripartite: it is signed by the insurer, by the bank as the policyholder and by the borrower as the payer of the premium.

1

Application and risk assessment

The bank submits the credit agreement and the details of the borrower and of the security. The insurer assesses the risk and quotes a rate.

2

Tripartite contract

The contract is signed by the insurer, the bank and the borrower. The bank is named as the beneficiary in the policy.

3

The borrower pays the premium

The borrower transfers the premium in a single instalment within 30 banking days of the contract being signed.

4

Issue of the policy

The policy is issued within 2 days of the premium reaching the insurer's account and runs for the term of the credit agreement.
