Testimonials
Debt Protection
We have protected more than $260 million in credit union member loans, enabling 8.5 million members to keep their homes and cars if unforeseen setbacks were to come.
Helen Agnew is one of those 8.5 million and her story is our purpose. A member of CU Community Credit Union in Springfield Missouri, Helen tells us how the credit union offered our debt protection product on a loan that ultimately made all the difference in keeping her and her daughter on their feet when she became unemployed.
TruStage Insurance
In the last year, we launched 3 new insurance products: Whole Life, Children’s Whole Life and Health. We also optimized our Life claims handling process for beneficiaries, with 25% of claims now paid on the initial call. There are now more than 15 million credit union members protected through our TruStage insurance.
Belinda Lockridge is just one of those members but her story is our purpose. She is representative of the millions of underinsured Americans we serve to build financial security for their families.
As a provider of retirement plans for credit unions and small businesses, we strive to include educational features that will improve the organizations’ participation rates in the programs.
Retirement Plans
More than 45,000 credit union and small business employees now track their progress toward retirement and are able to easily make adjustments through our online planning tool.
Nathan Grossenbach of Shoreline Credit Union in Two Rivers, WI tells the story of how we exceeded their expectations with the transition to a new 401(k) plan and helped their employees understand the plan and how they would benefit from participating. His story is our purpose.
Business Protection
In 2014 with our business protection solutions and risk management resources, we paid $64.7 million in claims (through Q3) and sent alerts to 24,000 credit union employees, helping them mitigate and overcome risks. We also visited nearly 1,000 credit union sites to assess risks and provide strategic consultation.
Unfortunately, Augusta VAH Federal Credit Union experienced a devastating fire to its main branch in 2011. CEO Phyllis Cochran’s story–of how our teams helped her CU recover–is our purpose.
