Borrower Security Debt Protection

An unexpected disability, death or even an involuntary period of unemployment can affect your household's income level, making your financial obligations very difficult to meet and significantly impact your family's standard of living.

Blue Flame Credit Union offers MEMBER'S CHOICE™ Borrower Security Debt Protection as a convenient and affordable way to keep your loan repayment on schedule.

  • Loss of Life - Protected loan balance is cancelled up to $50,000 per loan ($100,000 for Home Equity) in case of member's death
  • Involuntary Unemployment - In the event of member becoming involuntarily unemployed, the loan payment will be cancelled up to contract maximums during the eligible period of unemployment

There are no upfront charges and the cost is added to your loan on a monthly basis. MEMBER'S CHOICE™ Borrower Security Debt Protection will cancel or waive your eligible loan payments. Debt Protection products are available for both new loans and current loans with Blue Flame Credit Union.
