You come home after a day of shopping for that perfect birthday gift – dealing with long lineups and crowded parking lots – only to drop it on the floor while wrapping it.

Don't panic! We've got you covered.
When you use your Sunrise Credit Union debit card for a purchase, you've got the following benefits:

Buyer Protection
This coverage offers protection on most retail items, including gifts, for 120 days after the purchase, whether an item is protected if stolen, dropped, broken, or consumed in a fire.

Are you purchasing with a cheque? No problem! As long as you've drawn the cheque from your insured account, you receive the same protection for your purchase.

Valid claims will be satisfied either by replacing the stolen or damaged item or by a cash payment in an amount that does not exceed the total purchase price.

Extended Warranty
The program doubles the warranty period of a purchased item up to two years, as long as the manufacturer's warranty is valid in Canada for five years or less. For example, when you buy a blender, the manufacturer would typically offer a one-year warranty. But, if you use your credit union debit card for the purchase, the blender is protected under the terms of the original warranty for an additional one-year period. Best of all, there are no applications and no extra costs! It's all included with your MemberCard®.

A unique benefit for Sunrise Credit Union members!
Credit cards offer similar products, but this one is truly unique for debit cards and only available to credit union members.
