Policy Loan


This is the amount that the owner of a life insurance policy can borrow at interest from the insurer, often at favorable rates. The outstanding loan at any time will include any unpaid loan interest. It is secured by the cash value of the policy and the outstanding loan amount, including interest on the loan, cannot exceed the cash value. When the policy death benefits are paid to the beneficiary or the cash value is paid on surrender to the policyowner, the amount of the outstanding policy loan is first deducted. See also Indebtedness, Whole Life, Interest-Sensitive Whole Life and Universal Life. (someone please check this definition KS)
