Validate Insurance Coverage
How do I provide proof of insurance?
If you received a letter from Suncoast Credit Union stating that we have not received a copy of your insurance policy that protects the collateral, we must be provided with your current insurance declarations page. To make this an easy process, you may submit the verification of insurance online at imcovered.com/suncoastcu. You will need to have the Unique Identifier Number located in the upper-right corner of the letter from Suncoast. You can also call our partner, Southwest Business Corporation (SWBC), to provide the information over the phone at 866-382-3526, or fax proof of insurance to:
Auto, Boat, Trucks, Motorcycles: 866-752-3888
Mortgages and Equity Lines: 866-752-7879
What is a declarations page?
The front page (or pages) of your insurance policy documents that specify the named insured, address, policy period, location of premises, policy limits and other key information that varies from insured to insured. The declarations page is also known as the information page. Suncoast requires the following information, which should be available on your declarations page:
- A loss payable clause naming Suncoast Credit Union as loss payee/lienholder
- Description of the vehicle, including the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) for auto, boat, truck or motorcycles
- Comprehensive and collision coverage with a maximum $1,000 deductible
- The effective date and expiration date of the coverage
