With growing scrutiny on financial institutions, forced-place collateral protection insurance (CPI) has become a significant pain point for both members and credit unions. Hidden costs from CPI can lead to inflated loan payments, causing financial strain on members and, in extreme cases, vehicle repossessions. So, how can credit unions protect their members from these pitfalls while maintaining the necessary insurance protections?

In this episode of Grow Your Credit Union, hosts Joshua Barclay and Becky Reed welcome on Dan Daggett, Chief Strategy Officer at Credit Unions First, to unpack the real cost of forced-place CPI. They dive into why it’s a problem and explore a member-friendly alternative—lender single interest (LSI) insurance—that keeps the protection but ditches the hidden fees.
