What is debt protection?

Sometimes called payment protection, debt protection cancels your monthly payments in certain pre-determined circumstances such as death, injury or job loss to protect you from defaulting on your loan. Different plans have different coverages and exclusions. We can help you find the best plan for you.

What kinds of loans are covered by debt protection?

Debt protection is available for many types of loans, including some credit cards. You can also add debt protection to any loan or line of credit opened in the last 6 months.

Are there downsides to debt protection?

Some plans have exclusions for things like changing your job status to working part-time or self-employment, so it’s important to make sure your plan meets your needs and expectations. Your loan officer can help you find the right fit.

Is debt protection the same thing as PMI (private mortgage insurance)?

No. PMI is typically a requirement for homebuyers who put down less than 20% of the home purchase price and is meant to protect the lender’s investment. This differs from debt protection, which protects you from defaulting on your loans as a result of certain events. You don’t have to have loan protection to get a loan. But there are good reasons to consider it.

What if I change my mind?

You can cancel your debt protection at any time. If you cancel within the first 30 days of coverage, we’ll refund any fees already paid.
