Importance of Financial Protection

Only 4 in 10 consumers have saved money for unexpected expenses.

There is no predicting when the unexpected will happen:

  • Job Loss
  • Illness or Injury
  • Vehicle Repair Costs
  • Disability
  • Death

Consumers feelings around financial uncertainty and protection.

  • 49% are worried about their ability to pay their bills over the next 90 days.
  • 76% had more interest in financial protection products since the start of the pandemic.
  • 55% saw financial protection insurance as “good financial planning.”

Financial protection for you and your loved ones.

Given life’s uncertainties, it is easy to see why more people are turning to financial protection to safeguard their family’ financial well-being.

Ask your Credit Union what options are available to you.
