Payment Protection
Some things in life you simply can’t anticipate, such as an accident or illness. But you can plan ahead to protect yourself and your family from the financial hardships they can bring by electing optional insurance coverages on your BFCU loans.

Credit life insurance and credit disability insurance are available on all BFCU loans. And Guaranteed Asset Protection, or GAP, insurance is now available for your vehicle loans.
