If something should happen to you, your loan obligations could potentially place a burden on your family. To protect your assets and your family’s financial well-being, consider Credit Life and Credit Disability Insurance for your next loan.1
Credit life insurance reduces or pays off the balance of an insured credit union loan in the event of your death. The coverage spares your family from the additional financial obligation of repaying your loan. Since credit life insurance covers a specific loan, the benefits from other life insurance plans can be used for your family's day-to-day living expenses or providing for future needs, such as a child's college education.
- Maximum Benefit Amount – $55,000 per insured2
- Maximum Benefit Term – 120 months
- Age Maximum/Termination – 70
Credit disability insurance makes your loan payments for as long as you are unable to work due to a covered disability. The cost is reasonable, and it may help create a safety net by helping you avoid missing loan payments. The premium is built into your loan payment so there are no additional payments to setup.
- Maximum Benefit Amount – $30,000 per insured per disability, $600 monthly maximum
