In Tipperary Credit Union, the outstanding loan balances of eligible members are automatically insured at no direct cost to the member. This means the loan debt will be wiped clean in the event of the members death. Banks and other financial institutions charge a separate insurance premium on top of loan repayments for this service. You can take out a credit union loan in the full confidence that your dependants will not have to pay it off should you die or suffer total and permanent disability for any occupation.

Note: Terms and Conditions Apply.

Under the basic policy, insurance cover ceases on the member’s 70th birthday. However, Tipperary Credit Union has the “Over 70 Rider” which extends the cover until the members 85th Birthday. Members over 16 years of age who were not eligible for insurance cover (because they were in ill health at the time a loan was granted to them) can be insured up to an amount of €8,000.

• For death All members’ loans (up to age 85) are automatically insured up to €8,000.
• For disability All members’ loans (up to age 60) are automatically insured up to €4,000.
• Loan balances greater than these limits are subject to completing a Member Declaration on the back of the loan application form and/or a Declaration of Health Form. The underwriters have the right to decline or restrict cover for members with serious medical conditions.
