As part of the terms of your 1st United Credit Union auto loan, you are required to provide us proof of your insurance.
Don’t worry, it’s easy to do. Simply contact your insurance provider and tell them you’ve financed your auto with 1st United Credit Union. They’ll do the rest.
Here’s what your insurance provider will need to know:
- You’ve financed an auto with 1st United Credit Union
- Proof of insurance can be mailed to P.O. Box 19085, Portland, OR 97280 or faxed to (503) 549-8888
- Documentation for proof of insurance must show three things:
- An appropriate amount of comprehensive and collision coverage
- A deductible of $1,000 or less
- 1st United Credit Union as lienholder
- Your insurance card is not sufficient
Did you receive a letter?
If you received a letter that we have not received your declarations page showing us as lienholder, you can submit your proof of comprehensive and collision coverage online here. You’ll need your unique ID number indicated on the letter.
If we don’t receive your proof of comprehensive and collision coverage showing 1st United CU as lienholder, we may add insurance to your loan, which can extend the term of your loan.
