Overview

Koalafi's Protection Plus program offers lease customers a simple way to cover a part or all of their active leases' payments in the event of adverse life events such as unemployment, hospitalization, or loss of life. Protection Plus also gives members access to special wellness perks, such as telemedicine services, and discounts for certain categories such as groceries and travel.**

The program is optional, and customers will be provided all of the information when the offer is presented to them. Protection Plus costs $12.99 / month and the customer can cancel at anytime.

The program information and enrollment is integrated into the customer application. There is no action needed on your part.

Protection Plus is an added offering and only displays after the lease agreement is signed. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • The terms of the lease agreement are not affected by the customer's decision to add Protection Plus.

  • Enrolling in Protection Plus does not affect the lease activation process or affect the lease's regular payments.

  • Protection Plus payments are charged separately from the customer's lease.

How It Works

Customers are able to enroll in the program directly in the application after they sign their lease agreement. The Protection Plus offer screen provides detailed information about the program and its applicable benefits for the state where your store is located.

If the customer chooses to join the program, Koalafi will use the bank account provided during their lease application to process their Protection Plus payments.
