What is a Whole Life Insurance Loan?
A whole life insurance loan, also called a policy loan, is a loan FROM the insurance company with your cash value acting as collateral. The reason this type of loan is powerful is because it allows you to use the sum of your cash value without actually using it. Since you’re using the life insurance company’s money, your cash value is free to keep compounding with interest and dividends. This can make a major difference on the growth of your account.
While you do have to pay the loan back, you have much more flexibility than with any other loan type. You can make your own payment schedule, and you do not have to apply or meet any requirements, and as soon as you free up your cash value again (releasing the collateral by paying the loan balance) you can take another loan.
Loan Safety in Insurance
Because of the flexibility of whole life insurance loans, they’re incredibly “safe” loans to have. Your loan is always fully collateralized, which means that if you cannot pay the loan, the insurance company simply won’t release that collateral. And while that will of course reduce the cash value that you can access, your account still grows with new premiums, interest, and dividends. And one day, if you do repay the loan, that collateral does get released. This means that if you experience hardship or need to pause your loan payments, you can do so without worrying about defaulting, running your credit score, or otherwise facing financial obstacles.
If you happen to die with an unpaid policy loan, the death benefit is simply paid to your beneficiaries minus any loan balance and interest.
