To: All Licensed Property and Casualty Insurers

From: Mr. Ernst N. Csiszar, Director

Subject: Premium Finance Companies

It has come to the Department's attention that some insurers are requiring the use of a particular premium finance company for

policies written by that insurer. Section 38-5-200 allows all insureds and applicants the freedom to choose among all available

premium financing. Insurers may not restrict the right to choose in any way, directly or indirectly.

Please direct any questions or concerns regarding this matter to Dean F. Kruger, 803-737-6230.
