CREDIT INSURANCE

Prepare for the unexpected with credit insurance!

Credit insurance from Securian Financial helps support your financial wellbeing if you are
faced with a disability or loss of life. It is an insurance policy that helps reduce or pay off your loan
balance if you become disabled or lose your life.

Depending on the policy you select, credit insurance cancels your outstanding balance if you pass away or your monthly payments for a specified period if you become disabled.

  • Credit Life Insurance — Pays off or reduces the insured balance on a loan if the borrower loses their life.
  • Joint Credit Life Insurance — Protects both the borrower and a co-borrower if both are named on the loan application.
  • Credit Disability Insurance — Makes the monthly loan payment (up to the contract limit) on a loan if the borrower becomes ill or disabled and is unable to work.
  • Joint Credit Disability Insurance — Protects both the borrower and a co-borrower if both are named on the loan application (where available).

  • Protects Financial Security – Credit insurance helps ensure your loan will not end up in default in the event of disability or loss of life, reducing the financial burden on family members.
  • Predictable Rates – Monthly premium rates are regulated by each state.
  • Simplified Eligibility – To get started, you simply complete a short application and answer general health questions.

Borrowers can usually obtain credit life or credit disability insurance up to the age of 65. For credit disability insurance, a borrower typically must be gainfully working outside his or her residence for wages or profit and have been working for 30 hours or more per week for the 30-day period immediately prior to the insurance coverage effective date.

If you’re considering credit insurance, a loan officer can further discuss eligibility requirements and answer your questions.

Monthly credit insurance premium rates vary by state. Actual cost of coverage depends on a borrower’s state of residence, loan amount and the coverage selected. To keep administration easy, the premium is included with the monthly loan payment.

  • Monthly Outstanding Balance (MOB) — Borrowers pay for credit insurance as they go. Premiums are not part of the amount financed. Rather, the premiums are charged monthly and are added to the loan’s outstanding balance where they are paid with the monthly loan payment.
  • Single Premium — The total premium is paid and collected up front and is typically financed with the loan.

A borrower has 30 days to review the Payment Protection Credit Insurance plan. If the borrower is not satisfied with the coverage, he or she can cancel it at any time. If the borrower does so within the first 30 days, any premiums paid will be refunded.

Credit insurance is not a deposit or obligation of, or guaranteed by, your financial institution or its affiliates. Credit insurance is not insured
or guaranteed by any agency of the federal government. A borrower’s credit approval cannot be conditioned on whether credit insurance
is purchased.

Coverage is offered under policy form series, Minnesota Mutual xx-4000 series, Minnesota Life MHC-xx-4000 series and xx-60000 series, and
Securian Life xx-60000 series, as well as any applicable state variations.

Securian Financial is the marketing name for Securian Financial Group, Inc., and its subsidiaries. Minnesota Life Insurance Company and Securian Life Insurance Company are subsidiaries of Securian Financial Group, Inc.
