Loan Protection

Preserve your assets for the future and achieve peace of mind knowing your ARC loans are protected.

GAP Insurance

Don’t let a wrecked vehicle wreck your finances.

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is a great way to protect your finances if the value of your vehicle is less than the amount of your car loan. A good rule of thumb is to assume your new vehicle will depreciate more than 20% after the first year you own it, half of which occurs the minute you drive it off the lot.* This leaves a gap between what you owe on your loan and the value of your vehicle if it’s deemed a total loss due to an accident or theft. Our GAP program may reduce or eliminate the gap between what your vehicle insurance will pay and what you owe on your loan.

Contact us today to learn more about adding GAP to your vehicle loan so you can worry less about tomorrow.

Your purchase of MEMBER’S CHOICE™ Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is optional and will not affect your application for credit or the terms of any credit agreement you have with us. Certain eligibility requirements, conditions, and exclusions may apply. You will receive the contract before you are required to pay for GAP. You should carefully read the contract for a full explanation of the terms. If you choose GAP, adding the GAP fee to your loan amount will increase the cost of GAP. You may cancel GAP at any time. If you cancel GAP within 90 days you will receive a full refund of any fee paid. GAP purchased from state chartered credit unions in FL, GA, IA, RI, UT, VT, and WI, may be with or without a refund provision. Prices of the refundable and non-refundable products are likely to differ. If you choose a refundable product, you may cancel at any time during the loan and receive a refund of the unearned fee. GAP purchased from state chartered credit unions in CO, MO, or SC may be canceled at any time during the loan and receive a refund of the unearned fee. GAP purchased from state chartered credit unions in IN may be with or without a refund provision. If the credit union offers a refund provision, you may cancel at any time during the loan and receive a refund of the unearned fee.

Credit Insurance may make your loan payments when you can’t

Life can be wonderful. But it can also get complicated when unexpected things happen. Protecting your loan payments against the unexpected such as a covered life event, including dismemberment and terminal illness, could help you protect more than your finances. It could help lighten the burden for the people you care about. Insure your loan payments today so you can worry a little less about tomorrow. 

There’s no way to predict life events, but you can take steps to protect your family if the unexpected happens. Credit life insurance may help reduce or pay off your protected loan, up to the policy maximum, in the event of a covered life event.

You decide which payments you want to protect and the monthly premium may be added to your loan. Coverage is designed to fit your lifestyle, it is totally voluntary, and it won’t affect your loan approval. It’s simple to apply for individual or joint coverage. You can sign up for credit insurance at your loan closing, or anytime you’d like.

Call ARC Federal Credit Union at (814) 946-0857, option 4, or email memberhelp@arcfcu.org to find out more.
