Loan Payment Protection & More

Loan Payment Protection

You have dreams for you and your family – a happy retirement, college plans, a new car. But have you considered how you or your family would cover your financial obligations, such as the payment on your Auto Loan, Home Equity Loan, or Credit Card if you fell victim to an unfortunate event? First Financial's Loan Payment Protection program can help when the unexpected hits.

Life Coverage – Accident & Illness Balance Cancellation
Loan Payment Protection cancels your eligible loan balance up to the agreement maximum, should you die from a protected illness or injury before paying off your loan.

Disability – Payment Cancellation
If you become disabled due to a protected illness or injury, Loan Payment Protection cancels your monthly loan payments, up to the agreement maximum.

Disability & Involuntary Unemployment – Payment Cancellation
If you become disabled due to a protected illness or injury or become involuntarily unemployed, Loan Payment Protection will cancel your monthly loan payment, up to the agreement maximum.

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) Insurance
May Your Drive Be Protected - Enjoy 50% Off GAP Insurance When You Enroll Between 5/1 and 5/31/24!
GAP insurance is intended to cover the difference between the amount you owe on your Auto Loan and the amount the insurance company would pay if your car is stolen or totaled. Standard auto insurance typically only pays an amount up to the value of your vehicle. Our MEMBERS CHOICE™ GAP insurance would cover the loss if your loan balance is higher than the value of the vehicle.*
  • Enroll in our MEMBERS CHOICE™ Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) program between May 1 - 31, 2024, and ensure discounted protection for the life of your auto loan - when you opt into the program upon your loan closing.
  • Don’t let unexpected events jeopardize your financial stability. Enjoy peace of mind knowing that your auto loan payments are protected.
  • A minimum $15,000 loan amount is required to be eligible for the 50% discount.
  • This promotional offer is available for new loans only. Existing First Financial loans do not qualify.
Did you know adding GAP insurance on at the car dealership can typically cost $1,000 or more? With half off our MEMBERS CHOICE™ program when enrolling during the month of May, you'll pay as low as $350!**

*Your purchase of MEMBERS CHOICE™ Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) is optional and will not affect your loan application for credit or the terms of any credit agreement you have with us. Certain eligibility requirements, conditions, and exclusions may apply.
**APR = Annual Percentage Rate. Not all applicants will qualify, subject to credit approval. Additional terms and conditions may apply. Actual rate may vary based on credit worthiness and term. First Financial FCU maintains the right to not extend credit, after you respond, if we determine you do not meet our guidelines for creditworthiness. A First Financial membership is required to obtain an Auto Loan and is available to anyone who lives, works, worships, volunteers or attends school in Monmouth or Ocean Counties. See credit union for details. A $5 deposit in a Base Savings Account is required to establish membership prior to opening any other account/loan. 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 is not available for CA residents. This GAP is optional and will not affect your application for credit or your loan or the terms of any loan agreement with us; and is not a contract for insurance. Current loans financed with First Financial FCU are not eligible for review or refinance. This promotional offer is available for new loans only. Existing First Financial loans do not qualify.
