Insurance & Loan Protection

Baylands offers Mechanical Repair Coverage (Extended Warranty) and other Loan Protection products that guarantee peace of mind when financial storms strike.

For questions on any of the below listed products, please contact a Member Service Representative.

Term Life and Disability Insurance

For your protection, we make available optional Term Life and Disability Insurance for loans through CUNA Mutual Insurance Society. The cost may be less than you would pay for similar insurance elsewhere.

You can choose one or both types of coverage for all loans except first mortgages, credit cards, and equity lines of credit and loans with a term greater than 10 years.

What is Term Life Insurance for Loans?

Term Life Insurance for Loans generally pays off a loan (up to the insurance contract limit of $30,000) if you become deceased before your Baylands Family Credit Union loan is repaid. Age restrictions apply.

What is Disability Insurance for Loans?

If you become disabled due to a covered accident or illness, Disability Insurance for Loans generally makes payments (up to the insurance contract limit) on your loan with Bayland Family Credit Union. You must work a minimum of 25 hours a week to be eligible for this coverage.

The premiums are based on the amount of the loan and the insurance covers the unpaid loan balance. As soon as the loan is paid off, the insurance is cancelled or at the age of 66.

Guaranteed Asset Protection Insurance (GAP)

This insurance is designed to protect you when a gap exists between the actual value of your vehicle and the amount of money you owe on your loan.

Initially, your loan balance will possibly exceed the value of the vehicle you have financed. This is especially true if you use a small down payment or are not required to make a down payment at the time of purchase.

If your vehicle is stolen or totaled in an accident, your auto insurance company will cover only the replacement value of the vehicle. The remainder of the loan balance becomes your responsibility to pay and the replacement value is not always enough to cover the balance of the loan. GAP is designed to cover that difference.

Benefits of GAP protection are:

  • Protection from financial loss
  • Protection of your credit rating
  • Protection for the term of loan (up to 72 months)
  • Coverage for auto insurance deductibles
  • Benefits for new or used vehicles, including cars, light trucks, motorcycles and some other motorized vehicles
  • It gives you peace of mind that you are covered in case of loss
