A clear Policy Loan Request protects both policyowner and insurer by documenting loan terms, establishing intent to borrow, and creating an audit trail for regulatory compliance. Proper completion reduces processing delays, prevents incorrect disbursements, and clarifies tax and beneficiary effects.
Policyholders, authorized agents, and insurance administrators complete the Policy Loan Request to document loan amounts, repayment choices, and signatures required for disbursement.

Specify principal amount, interest rate type (fixed or variable), compounding frequency, payment schedule, and maturity or repayment deadline. Clear terms prevent later disputes and allow accurate company calculations for interest accrual.
Provide insurer name, policy number, contract type, issue date, and owner details. Exact identifiers ensure the company locates the correct contract and applies loan to the intended policy without administrative errors.
Attach proof of authority for non-owner signers, such as a durable power of attorney, letters of guardianship, or corporate resolution. Documentation avoids processing delays and protects against unauthorized loans.
State repayment method: monthly payment, premium offset, or deferred interest. Indicate automatic payment authorization and bank details if required; clarify whether interest capitalizes.
Disclose whether the loan may trigger taxable events, partial surrenders, or affect tax basis. Include seller-placed loan implications and note that tax advice is recommended for complex situations.
Indicate whether the form will be signed electronically, notarized in-person, or executed via Remote Online Notarization (RON). Attach required notary journals or RON recordings per carrier rules.
