Though commercial insurance is a necessity for every business, credit unions have many unique coverage needs based on the exposures and vulnerabilities inherent in financial institutions. However, adequate business coverage for credit unions is not a “one-size-fits-all” proposition. The insurance needs of an institution can vary greatly based on individual risk factors. Coverages like Bond, Directors & Officers, Plastic Card and Cyber Liability can be complex and require careful assessment to ensure that all exposures are suitably protected in the event of a loss. As a result, business insurance can be a difficult area for a credit union to navigate. Our goal is to highlight the resources that are presently available through CU Insurance Solutions, and our subsidiary, Equinox, to safeguard the best interests of Maine credit unions with customized business insurance products and related services.

The Value of a One-Stop Agency
Sometimes commercial insurance coverage can overlap into other areas that credit union lending protection or even employee benefits programs reach. A major advantage to utilizing CU Insurance Solutions for commercial bond and other business insurance products is that we coordinate between business divisions to evaluate your entire insurance portfolio to identify any potential redundancies in coverages that could save your credit union money. Another benefit of having your coverages consolidated with one agency is that we can help you to understand how your coverages respond in the event of a loss.
Please feel free to contact CU Insurance Solutions Vice President of Business Development, Beverly MacMillan by email: bmacmillan@insurancetrust.us or by phone at 207-887-8251 for a complimentary review of your current business insurance coverages.
