Did you know that the average funeral in the UK cost £4,500?   Could you find this amount of money if the worst was to happen?  Worse still, could your family lay their hands on this money of something were to happen to you?

 

One of the greatest stresses a family can suffer is the loss of a loved one.  As your credit union, we understand the financial hardship that can result from an unexpected loss of a loved one and that’s why we can offer you the Family Protection Plan to help ease the burden of a funeral.

 

The Family Protection Plan has been designed exclusively for credit union members by CUNA Mutual Group, the main insurance provider for credit unions worldwide.  As a credit union member, you can protect yourself and up to five members of your family under one policy. The cash benefit paid by the policy provides an immediate financial support when your family is most in need. The best part is that there are no restrictions on how you use the cash benefit!
