Insuranceopedia Explains Automatic Premium Loan Provision

Automatic premium loan provisions are beneficial for both insurers and the insured. They allow the insurer to collect a premium even when the insured cannot pay it, and they allow the insured to keep their policy rather than have it canceled as a result of a missed payment.

Policyholders can miss payments for a variety of reasons. They may, for instance, be sick, injured, or have simply forgotten. As long as they have an automatic premium loan provision, however, a missed premium should not void the policy.
