What is a loan against life insurance policy (LAIP)?

A loan against life insurance policy (LAIP) is a secured loan where you pledge your policy as security to borrow money. The lender will determine the maximum loan amount you can qualify for based on a loan to value (LTV) ratio. This usually ranges from 50 to 90% depending on the policy. This ratio represents the percentage of your policy's surrender value that the lender is willing to lend against. You are then issued a credit limit which functions like a bank overdraft facility, where you are charged interest only on the amount you withdraw from this credit limit.
