Credit Life and Disability Insurance:

Credit Life and Credit Disability Insurance can help protect your family from the unexpected.

A loan is a commitment, a promise you're expected to keep. And if you were to die or become disabled, would your family be able to keep that promise?

Credit Life and Credit Disability Insurance from CUNA Mutual Insurance Society gives you and your family a convenient, affordable way to help keep your loan repayment promises.

Plan Benefits
The basic plans are easy to understand. In the event of your death, credit life insurance pays the balance of your loan, either the balance remaining or up to the policy maximum, whichever is less.

Credit disability insurance makes your loan payments (up to the policy maximum) if you were to become disabled by a covered sickness or accident which persists beyond the policy waiting period.

Credit life and credit disability insurance can:

  • Reduce your financial burden and protect your family.

  • Protect your income, your collateral and your credit rating.

  • Provide coverage at home and at work.

  • Provide peace of mind.

How much does it cost?
You can assure that your loan promises can be kept for just pennies per day. Premiums can be added to your monthly loan payments for your convenience.

To qualify for credit life:
You may not be older than the maximum eligible age when you take out your loan.
