How Payment Guard works


Payment Guard Insurance is a group insurance policy. Every borrower, subscriber or customer is protected once their loan is funded, or obligation is undertaken. The lender pays a premium for each borrower’s protection and is billed monthly by TruStage. There is no technical integration, only a regularly scheduled data-file upload is required. Most lenders can be up and running in less than a couple of weeks.
