Protect yourself and your family with debt protection
Debt protection is a simple, cost-effective way to cancel your loan balance or reduce your monthly payment if you become disabled, unemployed or pass away. It helps relieve the financial stress for you and your loved ones if life takes an unexpected turn.
What is covered?
Depending on the plan you select, our debt protection plan cancels your outstanding balance if you pass away or your monthly payments for a specified period if you become disabled or involuntary employed.
Why debt protection might be right for you
- Helps protect your credit rating so you don’t default on a loan
- It’s convenient, the cost of coverage is included in your monthly payment
- Reduces your financial risk so your family can focus on what matters most
What is covered?
- Loss of life: Cancels the outstanding loan balance up to a specified dollar amount.
- Disability: Cancels up to a specific number of monthly payments.
All benefits are subject to plan specific maximums. Connect with your loan officer to learn more about specific coverage details.
