Use this field to indicate the original cost your institution incurs as an incentive to branches or corporations to sell insurance policies.

For example, an insurance company pays 30 percent of premiums as a commission for all newly created policies. Your institution has an agreement with the branch to pay them 70 percent of those commissions for new policies, and the corporation gets 30 percent of those commissions. The institution will give the branch an additional 5 percent of commissions as an incentive (cost). If the Original Premium amount was $500:

•the Branch Income Original Amount would be $105 ($500 X .30 X .70 = $105);

•the Corporation's Original Amount would be $45 ($500 X .30 X .30 = $45);

•and the Cost Original Amount would be $7.50 ($500 X .30 X .05).

A cost of $7.50 gives the branch 5 percent more commission than the amount generated from the insurance company.

This amount can be Amortized over time, or it can be taken as one lump sum. This amount is credited into the General Ledger account set up on the GOLD Services > General Ledger > Setup G/L and Commissions screen.

If a rebate is due back to the customer because of payoff or cancellation, the amount displayed in the Remaining Amount field will be rebated. This rebated amount will also be debited from the General Ledger account set up on the Insurance Premiums G/L and Commissions screen.

During loan origination from GOLDTrak and the VSI Insurance transaction, this amount is automatically calculated and entered based on the percentage entered in the Cost Percentage field on the Setup G/L and Commissions screen.
