How Much Money Can We Save You? 4 Questions to Find Out

Protecting your auto loan portfolio doesn’t need to cost your credit union, bank, or finance company as much money, time, and resources as it does today. With seamless implementation and a multitude of unique advantages in our service model, State National saves lenders money. Just how much? Let’s find out!  
 
1.    How many auto loans do you have in your portfolio and how much time per week does your staff spend on managing collateral protection in your current portfolio? 

Our program is built to free up your staff’s capacity and provide you with FTE savings.

Our exclusive lender platform, InsurTrak, has every tool you need, including:

  • Real-time data on borrower insurance status, notifications sent, account history, insurance documentation, and all borrower interactions
  • Instant, on-demand access to all recorded borrower phone calls.
  • Fast, automated payment change and refund information
  • On-demand management reports and customized, transparent reporting of all aspects of your program

Created in-house and customized for CPI programs specifically, InsurTrak is the industry powerhouse in tracking, claims filing, reporting, and program management, all in one user-friendly, easy-to-use platform.


“Efficient? I’d estimate State National’s system saved us 6 figures and 1 FTE!”

~ Steve McIntire, VP of Administration and General Counsel, SELCO Community Credit Union

2.    What is your 12-month claim benefit? 

State National returns, on average, 20% more in claim dollars than other providers.

Because we are the carrier, underwriter, and claims payer, there is no middleman and almost no paperwork required. Many claims are processed in 10 seconds with AI and those that need further review are paid within an average of 7 days of their submission date. That’s 7 days — start to finish.

Additionally, filing a claims payment has never been easier for your team. Our claims form comes pre-populated with data from InsurTrak. You don’t even have to decide which claim type you want to file — we automatically process each claim for ALL available coverages, regularly returning more dollars to you.

Did I mention we have broader coverages that provide more value to the financial institution? Not only that, but we offer a borrower-centric coverage that allows your borrower to file a claim even if they are uninsured!


“State National has saved us a truly significant amount of money.”

~ John Grimes, AVP of Collections, MAX Credit Union

3.    If you have a CPI provider, what is your current CPI penetration? 

We reduce CPI penetration by 20-30% because of our proprietary AI tracking software, proactive verification methods, and our email and text programs. 

Our Web-Based Robotic Automated Processing (WRAP) software automatically extracts insurance information from insurer websites and updates it in InsurTrak — without any human effort or intervention. WRAP uses AI and machine learning to proactively search for new policy information from seven different carriers, including the country’s top five auto insurers, before ever notifying a borrower. 

Only if we can’t verify insurance through WRAP or our other proactive and behind-the-scenes verification methods do we reach out to the borrower via multiple channels, including email and text. Borrowers can easily respond through the channel they prefer — email, phone, or our borrower-facing MyLoanInsurance.com portal. They can even send an image of their insurance information by text! 

All this combines to create a more seamless, frictionless experience that results in lower penetration rates and greater client and borrower satisfaction.

4.    What core processor do you use? 

InsurTrak is engineered to work seamlessly with all major core processors.

Because innovation is our mindset, we have multiple automation options available to accommodate your systems and processes. When designing InsurTrak, we kept software compatibility a top priority. This means seamless real-time premium adds, refunds (including partial refunds), and payment syncing. 

With minimal steps to set up, you can link Symitar Episys, Temenos, and AKUVO directly to InsurTrak. For those who use Symitar Episys, State National has set up two-click direct connectivity, allowing all InsurTrak data to be accessed through your Episys system. Temenos and AKUVO users can easily connect to InsurTrak within their frameworks using the State National connector. 

 

Switch Without a Glitch

Once you decide to partner with State National, our dedicated Program Implementation Team is there to guide you all along the way and answer any questions you may have during any step as you onboard. 


“It was the best implementation I have done with any company. It was flawless.”

~ Joy Dominguez-Mota, Department Manager, Nationwide Acceptance

Strengthening Your Cyber Defenses

Strengthening Your Defenses: Why Secure Partners Are Critical With third-party risk on the rise, here's how to ensure your vendors are allies, not liabilities Cybersecurity Awareness Month each October is a critical reminder for organizations to evaluate their security posture. For financial institutions, including credit unions, banks, and finance companies, this evaluation must extend beyond your own walls and into the practices of every vendor you work with. In today’s interconnected environment, the security of your business partners is an extension of your own. Choosing a partner with a robust, proactive security posture isn't just a matter of compliance; it's a fundamental part of protecting your institution and those you serve. The Stakes Have Never Been Higher The threat landscape continues to evolve, and recent data shows that third-party risk is a primary driver of costly breaches — and the financial industry remains a prime target. Consider these findings: Third-party risk is a direct cause of breaches. A 2024 report found that at least 35.5% of all data breaches originated from compromises at a third-party vendor. (SecurityScorecard) Costs for financial institutions remain high. The average cost of a data breach for the financial industry is $6.08 million per incident, significantly higher than the global average. (IBM) The human element is a key factor. The "human element," which includes errors, phishing, and social engineering, plays a role in 60% of all breaches. (Verizon) Stolen credentials are a primary entry point. The use of stolen or compromised credentials was a factor in nearly one-third of all breaches, underscoring the need for strong authentication. (Verizon via Abnormal) What to Look for in a Secure Partner A partner’s commitment to security should be proactive, not reactive. Lenders must look for organizations that employ impeccable controls and can demonstrate their strength in this area. Proactive Due Diligence: Does a potential partner voluntarily offer a due diligence packet because they are confident in their security? Or do you have to ask multiple times? A proactive partner is a secure partner. Advanced, Demonstrable Safeguards: Look for partners who can show you their security in action. A key feature to look for is multifactor authentication (MFA), especially on platforms where your members or customers interact. MFA provides an essential extra layer of defense beyond a simple password, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected. “Security threats don’t stop when the whistle blows at 5 p.m. and hackers don’t take vacations,” says Michael Weiskircher, State National’s CIO, “so protecting against attacks has to be an ongoing, real-time process of fixing vulnerabilities immediately.” Security in Action at State National At State National, we believe that protecting our clients' data is a foundational part of the service we provide. We are on a mission to not only meet but exceed all security standards. MFA on Borrower Platforms: We practice what we preach. Our MyLoanInsurance.com borrower portal is protected with two-factor multifactor authentication (MFA). This safeguard helps ensure that borrower data is protected from unauthorized access. Constant Vigilance: We know that security is a 24/7/365 commitment. As Michael Weiskircher, State National’s CIO, says, “Security threats don’t stop when the whistle blows at 5 p.m. and hackers don’t take vacations, so protecting against attacks has to be an ongoing, real-time process of fixing vulnerabilities immediately.” A Dedicated Compliance Department: A partner with a proactive, in-house compliance team demonstrates a deeper commitment to security. This team ensures the company rigorously adheres to all state and federal data protection laws, providing a critical layer of assurance that security policies are consistently followed and enforced. The Markel Advantage: As part of the Markel family of companies, State National has access to the security tools, resources, and expertise of a multi-billion dollar, multinational insurance holding company. This adds yet another layer of enterprise-level protection. Choosing an Ally, Not a Risk Vetting a business partner's security is a critical fiduciary responsibility, and choosing the right one allows you to focus on serving your members. You can rest easy knowing that when it comes to your portfolio protection program, State National has you covered. Do Your Part. #BeCyberSmart
