      This is something which is not often heard of. This kind of insurance is calculated for credit cards and done somewhat differently. It is assumed that initially there is no sum which might be outstanding. Actually the process involves using credit facility of the card and if the balance is not paid for a particular month, then the customer needs to be charged one percent of his / her credit card balance for that month and this is considered as the premium for the insurance. These are facts those should be known before dealing with protection insurance.
