Unexpected events like accidents, theft, or natural disasters pose significant financial burdens on a borrower, negatively impacting a lenders’ ability to continue receiving loan payments. Vendor Single Interest (VSI) insurance is a blanket insurance that protects the lender in these circumstances.
Sometimes referred to as LSI Insurance (Lender Single Interest), VSI is a proven single interest insurance product used to transfer the collateral risk from the lender’s portfolio, allowing the lender to focus on managing credit risk.
