Payment Protection

Protect your family against the unexpected.

Life can be wonderful. But it can also get complicated when unexpected things happen. Protecting your loan payments against death, disability, or involuntary unemployment can help protect your finances.

Life Plus adds protection for life events such as accidental dismemberment, terminal illness, hospitalization, family medical leave, and the loss of life of a non-protected dependent.

Purchasing protection is voluntary and won’t affect your loan approval.

Guaranteed Asset Protection

Our GAP program may reduce or eliminate the gap between what your vehicle insurance will pay and what you owe on your loan.

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is a great way to protect your finances if the value of your vehicle is less than the amount of your car loan. A good rule of thumb is to assume your new vehicle will depreciate more than 20% after the first year you own it, half of which occurs the minute you drive it off the lot. This leaves a gap between what you owe on your loan and the value of your vehicle if it’s deemed a total loss due to an accident or theft.

Here are two additional benefits of GAP:

Our GAP program includes Deductible Assistance which is designed to provide financial relief when your vehicle is damaged but not deemed a total loss. If repairs cost more than your deductible, the deductible amount is applied to your vehicle loan at the credit union, reducing what you owe.

The GAP Plus coverage may reduce or eliminate the gap between what your vehicle insurance will pay and what you owe on your loan, if your vehicle is deemed a total loss. Plus, it helps you get into your next vehicle by reducing your next loan at the credit union.

Get GAP Plus today so you can worry a less about tomorrow.
