Group Life Insurance - convenient and easy!

Group life insurance provides you with coverage for your loans at Farm Credit in amounts up to $300,000. It helps your family meet the obligation of a loan in the event of the insured customer’s death. The group life options provide coverage for both short-term (1-10 years) and long-term (15-25 years) loans. Farm Credit group life insurance products offer the following benefits:

  • Protection to cover the entire loan or a portion of it
  • Coverage is reduced annually as your loan balance decreases
  • Guaranteed renewable – as long as premiums are paid
  • Available for co-signers including your spouse, business partner or anyone who would be personally liable for the loan
  • Convenient, quick and easy application process
  • Disability coverage is available on long-term policies (mortgages)
  • Premiums based on age-at-issue – rates won’t go up

Term Life Insurance - for your individual needs!

To complement our group life insurance programs, Farm Credit offers even competitively priced term insurance plans for customers. You can obtain a quote from any of the top-rated life insurance companies so that you have the most competitive product on the market.

Term life insurance is an individual life policy and requires individual underwriting, including a medical exam and health history. It provides protection for a limited amount of time – 10, 15, 20, or even 30 years. The policy pays if the insured dies during the term selected.

Term life insurance provides a tax-free benefit to the beneficiary listed on the policy. With term life insurance, there aren’t many limits on the amount of insurance you can purchase – you can purchase $100,000 or $10 million in coverage, based on your needs and budget for the insurance. And, there are several additional benefits available with most products, such as:

Return of Premium - this rider provides the insured with 100 percent of the premium paid back at the end of the policy if the insured survives the term selected.  This is a great investment tool for the younger generation. It does have a higher premium cost than the traditional term product. 

Child Rider - For minimal additional cost, this rider provides coverage to ALL children under the age 17, and can be bought in $1000 units.

Convertibility options - This valuable feature allows you to convert your term policy to a permanent policy without having to prove insurability, which is a great option in the event of a life change such as failing health or need for coverage beyond the original terms.

We're happy to provide a free custom quote at no obligation. Just contact us and we’ll be happy to visit with you about your options.
