What is considered the collateral on a life insurance policy loan?

It is money that you, or your beneficiary, would have received anyway. The policy’s cash value acts as collateral for the policy loan. If you never pay back the policy loan during your lifetime, the amount is deducted from the death benefit when you pass away—meaning that your beneficiaries repay the loan. Sep 29, 2020
