View MoreThe Fora Payment Protection Plan is a comprehensive optional insurance plan available to Fora Line of Credit account holders who have requested the coverage, agreed to pay the premium, and continue to pay premiums on a timely basis. Coverage is underwritten by Trans Global Insurance company and Trans Global Life Insurance Company.
Your Premium Charge is determined by applying a monthly Premium Rate of $1.50 per $100 (or part thereof) to your Outstanding Principal Balance throughout each billing cycle (plus applicable taxes)*. In practice, this means the premium you are charged each billing cycle is the amount determined by adding the sum of the daily premiums during the billing cycle. Daily premiums are calculated by multiplying (i) the monthly rate converted to a Daily Premium Rate (“DPR”), by (ii) the End-of-Day Outstanding Principal Balance (“EoD – OPB”) of your Line of Credit. The Premium Charge will vary depending on the number of days in the billing cycle and the daily outstanding principal balance on your Line of Credit during the billing cycle.
*No premium is charged on any portion of your end-of-day outstanding principal balance that exceeds $10,000. Premium payment is waived when your premium charge at the end of the billing cycle is less than $2.
