When someone buys a new car or a home, they generally need to have an insurance policy secured the day they assume ownership.
When you need to prove insurance coverage, but are still waiting for your policy to be issued, an insurance binder can help bridge that gap. While not always required, there are times when you may need to have auto insurance, homeowners insurance or other types of insurance in order to secure a loan or remain compliant with local laws.
