Does Delta Community offer payment protection?

Yes, the Payment Protection service provides a financial safety net for you and your family by reducing or cancelling qualifying loan payments/balances in the event of loss of life, if you become disabled or in the case of involuntary unemployment before the loan is repaid. Payment Protection will need to be purchased at the time of funding for each loan that you want protection for. Ex: You can have protection for your car loan but not your personal loan.
