Debt Protection

Protect What Matters

Debt Protection may cancel your loan balance (up to the contract limits) or monthly loan payment without penalty or added interest due to an unexpected event. You can select the optional plan that will support your family’s financial protection needs.

  • In the event of death, debt protection cancels the remaining loan balance up to a maximum in the contract.
  • If you become disabled, debt protection cancels up to a maximum number of loan payments based on the contract.
  • If you are involuntarily unemployed, debt protection cancels up to a maximum number of loan payments based on the contract.
