Your lease or finance agreement requires that your equipment have sufficient insurance. This is a requirement of the financial institution before they will fund the transaction
Because your lease or finance agreement requires insurance, and as a customer convenience, we offer the Program to help you easily fulfill the insurance requirement and avoid the risk of being unprotected. Plus, this coverage is often broader than a standard commercial or businessowners policy, providing added peace of mind.
Some policies are adequate; however, your policy may still leave you at risk for certain perils, and you may be subject to large out of pocket deductibles, rate increases, or in certain circumstances, coverage cancellation. You should check with your agent or broker.
Yes; you will need to have your agent or broker provide sufficient proof of other insurance coverage to our Insurance Center. Also, if you do obtain your own insurance coverage, the policy must name Meridian OneCap as a loss payee.
The charge for participating in the Equipment Protection Program is based on the type of equipment and its value, and the term of the lease or finance agreement. The charge may also include an administrative fee, payable to Meridian OneCap. This administrative fee covers the cost to obtain protection and maintain the program.
Meridian OneCap’s parent company, is the owner of the equipment. Naming Meridian OneCap as a loss payee means that any claim settlement payment will be paid directly to Meridian OneCap.
No; this Program is available exclusively for equipment leased or financed through Meridian OneCap. If your other equipment is leased or financed through another institution, it is not eligible for this Program.
