Debt Protection

  • Peace of mind for you, financial protection for your loved ones
  • Cancels or reduces loan payments, depending on the covered event
  • Reduces your risk of defaulting on a loan

Keep Your Finances Stable During Times of Crisis 

Any interruption to your job or ability to work could make it difficult to keep up with loan payments. Debt Protection eases some of that burden in the event of involuntary unemployment or tragedies such as a disabling accident or death. 

Ask a BHFCU employee about specific coverage details.
