Family Protection Plan
East Kilbride Credit Union is pleased to advise that a new service is now available. The Family Protection Plan is an insurance policy that allows you to protect yourself and up to five members of your family under one policy. It pays a cash sum in the event of a death of any of the people on the plan and allows you to add a replacement member on the policy should an existing named member pass away. One low monthly repayment covers six people, there is no medical required and it is easy to claim. If you would like more information please drop into one of our offices and pick up a leaflet or speak to a member of our staff.
