Insurance Products
Loan Protection Insurance is the insurance cover the Credit Union provides on the lives of its borrowing members.
Should an insured borrower die, the insurance cover provides that the loan is repaid in full. So if a member, who is eligible for insurance cover and has signed the credit agreement, dies with a loan outstanding, the loan balance is paid in full by the insurer.
As with all insurance, certain eligibility criterion applies. You may be required to complete a Declaration of Health to determine your eligibility for life insurance.
Ballyconnell Credit Union has extended the upper age limit for eligibility to 85 years.
Life Savings Insurance is the life insurance cover the credit union provides for its eligible members as an additional incentive to save regularly. The amount of insurance benefit to which a member is entitled is in proportion to the amount of savings the member has, and depends on the member’s age at date of lodgement.
- Subject to a maximum benefit set by your Credit Union
- €1 saved before the age of 55 provides €1 of insurance
- €1 saved between ages 55-59 provides €0.75 insurance
- €1 saved between ages 60-64 provides €0.50 insurance
- €1 saved between ages 65-69 provides €0.25 insurance
- No insurance is payable on amounts saved after your 70th Birthday.
Once earned, your insurance remains in force as long as you leave your savings in your credit union. Withdrawals may affect the amount payable.
A member is eligible for the insurance cover carried by the credit union if when they begin saving they are:
- Under the age of 70
- Actively at work, or if not working, in good health
What are the benefits?
Depending on your age and how much you have saved with your credit union over the years, Life Savings insurance could provide your dependants with a payment on your death.
As a credit union member you are entitled to a 10% discount off your VHI health insurance premium each year.
