Can a bank force me to purchase its insurance?

In order to get a grant for a large purchase, such as a home, lenders require proof of insurance. However, under state law, financial institutions cannot require their customers to purchase insurance from any particular producer or insurance company. In fact, lenders are required to notify borrowers of their right to purchase insurance through independent sources.

For answers to more loan insurance questions, such as handling fees, required amounts, and tie in sales, please always call us first.
