Consumer Loan & VISA Credit Card Protections

Protections, such as Insurance and Warranties, are an important aspect to remember when applying for a loan. Different protections provide different benefits, knowing your options on each protection will help you determine what you need to keep you covered.

Contact one of our loan officers to find out if you and your loan qualify to add these protections!

Guaranteed Asset Protection Advantage

When accidents happen, its GAP Advantage to the rescue. If your vehicle is totaled in an accident or is stolen (and not recovered) GAP Advantage is designed, with limitations, to waive your remaining loan balance not covered by your primary insurance. It will also give you a $1000 credit towards the financing of a replacement vehicle when borrowed through Tri Boro FCU within 90 days!

As an added bonus, Tri Boro FCU members who purchase GAP Advantage are automatically enrolled in our Auto Deductible Reimbursement (ADR) Program. ADR reimburses your deductible up to $500 per loss when filed and paid for by your insurance company, putting your money back into your pocket. It could even cover the other vehicles in your household!    

Car insurance will cover the cost of damages and a stolen car but your auto loan could be higher than the cash value of your car. Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP) can help you cover the difference between what the insurance company pays out and what you still owe on the loan.      

 CONSIDER THIS

^{Your one-year-old financed vehicle is totaled beyond repair…}

^{Your loan balance is                                            $15,000}

^{Your insurance company settlement is                 $10,000}

^{Based on your vehicle’s market value       $11,000}

^{Less your insurance deductible                  $1,000}

^{Total amount you owe without GAP Advantage    $5,000}

^{Total amount you owe with GAP Advantage                $0}

^{PLUS $1,000 credit towards the financing}

^{of your replacement vehicle!}

Insurance Claims Process

After you have filed a claim with your insurance company and received your check, you will need to deposit that check into your Share Savings Account. A hold will be placed on these funds until Tri Boro FCU has copies of the following documents: repair shop estimate and Insurance Claim, and a verification repairs has been completed (i.e. bring your repaired vehicle to our office). Please call ahead when bringing a vehicle in for verification.
