Portfolio Program

Lender Environmental portfolio policies can provide commercial lenders with an efficient and cost-effective way of addressing environmental due diligence and risk transfer for many of their loans. Under a portfolio policy, the lender is the named insured and coverage is typically paid for by the borrower. Qualifying a loan for coverage is fully automated, much quicker and less costly than traditional environmental due diligence. Coverage for each loan is added effective the loan closing date through a monthly reconciliation.
