Challenging Times

There are many unexpected events in life that can have a big impact on your finances. It could be a job loss, illness, divorce, or even a natural disaster. Challenging times happen to everyone. DCU can help you protect yourself against these risks and be in your corner when the unthinkable happens.
DCU can help you:
Save for it – Start building a solid emergency fund for an unexpected challenging time. It's always a good idea to have 3-6 months worth of expenses saved up in an easily accessible interest-bearing account. A DCU Money Market or Savings Account is a good option. Our HSA Checking Account offers a tax advantage to help offset healthcare expenses.
Prepare for it – A little forethought can go a long way in challenging times. Let a Financial Consultant from DCU Financial help. Whether we can adjust your long-term and short-term investment plans to serve as a financial safety-net for an unplanned emergency, or guide you with Long-Term Care planning or Life Insurance, the consultants at DCU Financial* are here to help you plan for the unexpected.*
DCU Insurance – Auto, Home, and Liability Insurance can also help you prepare ahead of time. DCU also offers Loan Payment Protection.
Peace of Mind – No one likes to think challenging times can affect their family. But, if it does, you want to make sure you have adequate insurance coverage. DCU Financial can help with a range of different insurance products including, long-term care, term and universal life, and Accidental Death and Dismemberment.*
