Why do members need payment protection?

No one may like to think about it, but we never know when death or disability will strike. MEMBER'S CHOICE® Credit Life and Credit Disability Insurance, underwritten by CUNA Mutual Insurance Society, can be purchased to cover your loan to help reduce or pay off your loan or loan payment, in the event of death or total disability respectively.

Your premium payments and your coverage ends when you've paid off your loan. This means you're only buying the exact amount of insurance to cover your loan, so you're not paying for any extra coverage. Each year this important coverage helps reduce or pay off covered loans for thousands of borrowing consumers and their loved ones.

Credit Insurance is voluntary and is not required in order to obtain a loan.
