Premium finance refers to a financial arrangement where a third party, such as a specialized finance company or bank, provides funds to individuals or businesses to cover insurance premiums. This arrangement enables policyholders to spread the cost of their insurance premiums over time, rather than paying the full amount upfront.
The main categories in the premium finance market include life insurance and non-life insurance. Life insurance provides a monetary benefit to the policyholder's beneficiaries upon their death. Premium financing options can involve various interest rates, including fixed and floating rates. Providers of premium finance include banks, non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), and other financial institutions.

The premium finance market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $46.08 billion in 2023 to $51.37 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the rise in high net worth individuals (HNWIs), the expansion of luxury goods and services, increasing insurance premiums, growth in real estate investments, and a heightened focus on asset protection.
The premium finance market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $79.72 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6%. The projected growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including rising insurance premiums, the expansion of insurance products, increased availability of credit, a rise in corporate financing, and growth in wealth management services. Key trends expected during this period include the adoption of digital platforms, the development of customized financing solutions, advancements in risk assessment tools, the adoption of mobile payment solutions, and innovations in customer service technology.
The anticipated growth of non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) is expected to significantly drive the expansion of the premium finance market. NBFCs are financial institutions that offer various banking services without holding a banking license. Their growth is fueled by regulatory reforms and rising demand for credit in underserved markets. NBFCs facilitate premium finance by providing flexible loan structures, quicker approval processes, and competitive rates, thereby making insurance more accessible and affordable for policyholders. For example, in December 2022, the Financial Stability Board (FSB), a Switzerland-based non-profit association, reported that the NBFC sector grew by 8.9% in 2021, surpassing its five-year average growth rate of 6.6% and reaching $239.3 trillion. This growth in NBFCs is driving the premium finance market.
Leading companies in the premium finance sector are focusing on developing extensive financial networks to enhance their service offerings and streamline transactions. A financial network is a system of interconnected financial institutions and services that facilitate transactions, data exchange, and communication, thereby improving the efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of financial services. For instance, in April 2024, ePayPolicy, a US-based insurance technology (Insurtech) and financial services company, introduced Finance Connect, an advanced feature designed to streamline premium financing for insurance companies. This feature integrates with existing premium finance company (PFC) partners, offers flexible payment options, and simplifies auto-payment and reminders, improving conversion rates and operational efficiency in response to the increasing demand for digital and automated financial solutions in the premium finance market.
In April 2024, InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) Corporation, a US-based financing company, acquired Stonemark Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to expand IPFS's client base, enhance its premium finance capabilities, and leverage the combined expertise and experience of both organizations to deliver superior services to the insurance industry. Stonemark Inc., also based in the US, provides premium financing services to insurance brokers and managing general agents (MGAs).
