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.

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.

  • Buyer Protection coverage is a full 120 days from the date of purchase
  • Personal and home-based business purchases are protected
  • Coverage is up to $60,000 lifetime
  • Gifts are covered
  • Any Sunrise Credit Union debit cardholder is covered, not just Canadian residents
  • Includes worldwide purchases, not only Canadian purchases
  • Purchases made with a cheque drawn on your insured account are also protected.

Making a claim

Be sure always to keep a copy of your transaction record, receipt, and (for warranty claims) the manufacturer's warranty. Then, call 1 (800) 263-9120, ext. 22880, and a Claims Representative will assist you.

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, the manufacturer would typically offer a one-year warranty when you buy a blender. 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®.


Are all types of purchases covered?

Many types of purchases are protected. For example, we have reimbursed members for jewelry, sunglasses, golf clubs, clothing, computer equipment, video games, cellphones, cameras, furniture, appliances, iPads, trampolines, toys, and more.

Examples of items not covered: cash, travelers' cheques, motorized vehicles, items intended for commercial purposes, animals, living plants, food, and other perishables; also, sporting items lost or damaged through the ordinary course of use.
