Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)

Give your borrowers peace of mind by offering Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) with their auto loan. Adding GAP to your line of loan protection programs can help your borrowers rest easy, knowing they can be protected from a deficiency balance or depreciation after their insurance payout if their vehicle is totaled or stolen and not recovered.

WE OFFERMULTIPLE GAP OPTIONS

 

GAP Advantage can pay up to the remaining balance of your borrower’s auto loan after an insurance payout, protecting them from a financial loss. Plus, GAP Advantage will provide a guaranteed benefit to finance a replacement vehicle, if financed through your institution. This program is NOT available in Florida, Georgia, or Illinois.

GAP with PowerBuy delivers borrower benefits through the entire term of a loan and offers coverage addressing both outstanding loan balance and depreciation loss. Your borrower can purchase this coverage with a depreciation benefit of $2,500; $5,000; or $6,000. If their vehicle is declared a total loss after an accident or theft, they will receive the balance on the remainder of their loan or the reimbursement of the depreciation on their vehicle, whichever is greater.

Even the best insurance may not cover the entire amount owed on an auto loan, so get the best in GAP coverage with GAP Advantage with PowerBuy. Not only does it deliver borrower benefits throughout the entire term of the loan, offer coverage addressing both outstanding loan balance and depreciation loss, but it also gives the borrower additional funds to finance their next vehicle.

Your borrower can purchase this coverage with a depreciation benefit of $2,500; $5,000; or $6,000. If their vehicle is declared a total loss after an accident or theft, they will receive the balance on the remainder of their loan or the reimbursement of the depreciation on their vehicle, whichever is greater. Then, as an added benefit, they will receive a $2,500 allowance to finance a replacement vehicle.
