A CPI program is a Collateral Protection Insurance structure used when a borrower fails to maintain the required physical damage insurance on a financed vehicle. In a dealer-owned reinsurance model, the dealer or lender reinsures that CPI risk through its own company, helping protect collateral value while retaining underwriting profits that would otherwise go to a third-party provider.
