The Real Cost of Traditional Lender-Placed Insurance

Unnecessary Costs

One-size-fits-all programs force you to pay for coverage you don't need while leaving critical gaps in protection. Result? Inflated premiums and unprotected exposures.

Coverage Gaps

When a claim hits, you discover your "comprehensive" policy doesn't cover construction risk, equipment damage, or specialty collateral. Your loss. Their fine print.

Borrower Friction

Aggressive placement tactics and poor communication damage borrower relationships, trigger complaints, and create regulatory risk. Your reputation pays the price.

A Smarter Approach to Lender-Placed Insurance

Liberty Collateral Protection partners with financial institutions, non-bank lenders, loan servicers, and specialty lenders to design tailored lender-placed insurance programs that match your risk profile, loan portfolio, and operational requirements. We don’t sell policies—we build protection strategies.

Fully Customized Coverage

Every program is built from scratch around your specific loan mix—residential, commercial, auto, equipment, or specialty lending. No templates. No compromises.

A-Rated Carrier Network

We leverage relationships with multiple A-rated carriers to secure competitive terms, deep capacity, and creative structures unavailable to most brokers.

Technology-Enabled Efficiency

Real-time portfolio monitoring, automated borrower communications, and seamless LOS/servicing integration eliminate manual work and coverage lapses.

Dedicated Claims Advocacy

Our specialists negotiate directly with carriers on your behalf. We've recovered significant additional claim proceeds for lender clients—money that would have been left on the table.

Testimonials

Trusted by Leading Lenders

"Switching to Liberty Collateral Protection reduced our lender-placed insurance costs by 28% while actually improving our coverage. The claims team recovered $120K on a complex commercial loss that our previous carrier initially denied. This program has transformed LPI from a cost center into a strategic asset."
Sarah Martinez
VP of Lending Operations
"As a non-bank lender focused on fix-and-flip financing, we needed coverage that understood our unique risk profile. Liberty designed a program that covers construction exposure, vacant properties, and rapid turnover—things traditional LPI policies wouldn't touch. The integration with our servicing platform was seamless."

FAQ

Common Questions About Liberty Collateral Protection

Traditional LPI programs use standardized coverage forms and pricing regardless of your actual risk profile. Liberty Collateral Protection builds each program from scratch based on your specific loan mix, loss history, and operational needs. This approach typically reduces costs while providing better coverage for your actual exposures.

We partner with banks, credit unions, non-bank lenders, loan servicers, and specialty finance companies of all sizes. If you extend credit secured by real property, vehicles, equipment, or other assets, we can design a program for you.

Most programs are fully operational within 30-45 days from program approval. The timeline includes carrier onboarding, system integration, policy documentation, and team training. We handle the heavy lifting so your team can focus on normal operations during the transition.

We work with you to ensure a smooth transition with zero coverage gaps. Depending on your current contract terms and timing, we can either time the switch to policy renewal dates or negotiate early termination where it makes financial sense.

Yes. Our technology integrates with all major loan servicing systems, including MSP, Black Knight, Fiserv, and custom platforms. We can receive automated feeds, push policy updates, and provide real-time status via API or secure file transfer.

When a loss occurs, you contact our dedicated claims team—not a general carrier claims line. We assign a specialist who manages the entire process: initial assessment, documentation collection, carrier liaison, negotiation, and settlement. You get a single point of contact and proactive updates throughout the process.

That’s our specialty. We’ve designed coverage for everything from cannabis real estate to marine vessels to medical equipment. If it can be financed, we can find a way to insure it. Our carrier network includes specialists in every asset class.

The economics work differently at various scales, but our approach is to design the best solution for your situation. We work with institutions ranging from community banks to multi-billion dollar national servicers.
