Our Insurance Products

Abbey Credit Union Ltd. also offers all eligible members insurance services. Some of these insurance services are paid for directly by the Credit Union. The insurance cover currently provided for by Abbey Credit Union Ltd. in respect of eligible members is:

  • Loan Protection
  • Life Savings Insurance
  • Death Benefit Insurance
Loan Protection Insurance

In Abbey Credit Union Ltd., the outstanding loan balances of eligible members are automatically insured at no direct cost to the member. This means the loan debt will be wiped clean in the event of the member’s death. Members can take out a credit union loan in the full confidence that their dependents will not have to pay the loan off on death and total and permanent disability for any occupation. Banks and other financial institutions charge a separate insurance premium on top of loan repayments for this service.

Loan Protection Insurance is payable subject to policy terms and conditions.

  • The insurance benefit payable is the amount of the member’s outstanding loan balance
  • Cover ceases on the member’s 85th birthday

Loan Protection Insurance is provided to members at no direct cost to them. This product clears your outstanding loan balance in the event of death subject to policy conditions. In the event of your death, E.C.C.U. (the credit union insurance company) will clear your loan balance — it will not have to be paid off from your savings or by your family!
