Insurance and Risk Management for Banks
Insurance and Risk Management for Banks
As a division of HUB International, HUB Financial Services specializes exclusively in serving banks by protecting loan portfolios with solutions like lender-placed coverage, collateral protection, and tracking programs that hold up to OCC and FDIC scrutiny. Our comprehensive capabilities set us apart:
- We act as a broker for lending risk programs, enterprise and executive lines coverages,
- We provide partnership advisory on balance sheet management and non-interest income securities, and
- We serve as a program administrator for outsourced insurance tracking, lender-placed insurance and GAP protection programs.
We bring decades of financial institution experience, and every subject matter expert on our team is accessible when you need us.
The Challenge
Uninsured collateral exposure is a persistent risk across community and regional bank lending portfolios. Borrower insurance lapses, escrow disbursement failures, and coverage mismatches occur at predictable rates, and each instance represents both a potential loss and a compliance vulnerability.
The Solution
HUB Financial Services protects lender portfolios from losses that happen when borrower insurance fails: lapses, gaps, missed escrow, and/or the wrong coverage type. We track every loan, communicate with borrowers on your behalf, and place coverage only when there’s no other option.
Insurance & Risk Management Programs
Force-Placed Insurance Coverage
Hazard and flood coverage placed when borrower insurance lapses on residential and commercial real estate loans. CFPB-compliant notices and full audit trail.
Collateral Protection Insurance (CPI)
Single-interest coverage for auto and consumer loan portfolios. Protects the bank’s interest without burdening the borrower with duplicate coverage.
Outsourced Insurance Tracking
We monitor borrower insurance status loan by loan, send compliant notices, and escalate to placement only when required. Reduces FTE load and exam risk.
Mortgage Impairment Insurance
Catches the gaps that tracking and force-placement can’t — uninsured losses on mortgaged property where coverage failed at the borrower or servicer level.
Blanket Insurance for Lenders
Portfolio-wide coverage for institutions where loan-by-loan tracking isn’t a fit. Common for smaller commercial and consumer portfolios.
Home Equity Protection Program
Equity coverage that protects the bank’s lien position on home equity lines of credit and home equity loans against valuation drops at default.
Why do 1500+ financial institutions trust HUB?
Because the difference speaks for itself.
- Their borrowers reach a real person, in the US, every time they call.
- Their questions get answered by subject matter experts, not sales reps with scripts.
- Their daily workflow is lighter. Operational efficiency drives everything we do.
- They gained a strategic partner in complex mortgage portfolio risk, not just another vendor to manage.
Compliance Expertise
OCC and FDIC Examination Support
Force-placement programs are a recurring exam focus. Our documentation packages are built to answer the standard exam questions in the format examiners expect.
CFPB Regulation Z and Regulation X
Notice timing, content, and consumer protection requirements are built into the program. We update the templates whenever the rules change, not when you remember to ask.
Flood Compliance
Biggert-Waters and HFIAA tracking and notice requirements, life-of-loan flood determinations, and force-placed flood coverage handled as one program.
State-Level Compliance
Where state law adds notice timing, premium disclosure, or refund requirements on top of federal rules, we handle those too. Multi-state portfolios don't require multi-vendor management.
