Policyholder

In insurance, a policyholder is a person or entity who owns an insurance policy and is entitled to its benefits. The policyholder is typically the person who pays the premiums and is listed as the policyholder on the insurance policy.

 

Here is an example of a policyholder:

 

John Smith purchases a life insurance policy from ABCInsurance Company. John is the policyholder and is responsible for paying the premiums. If John were to pass away while the policy is in force, his beneficiaries would receive the death benefit.

 

Key features of a policyholder in insurance include:

 

·      The policyholder is the person or entity who owns the insurance policy and pays the premiums.

·      The policyholder is entitled to the benefits of the insurance policy, including any payouts or coverage.

·      The policyholder may be an individual, such asJohn Smith in the example above, or it may be an organization, such as a business that purchases group insurance for its employees.

·      The policyholder has certain responsibilities, such as paying premiums on time, providing accurate information to the insurance company, and notifying the insurer of any changes that may affect the policy.
