CSO Snapshot
Central States Health & Life (CSO) has you covered when an accident prevents you from making your car payment. The mutually owned company offers credit protection products, including credit life and credit disability insurance, that pay off debt in the event of accident, illness, or injury. It also works with financial institutions to implement debt cancellation programs, in which lenders cancel a loan if certain events (such as death or unemployment) occur. CSO works largely through partnerships with more than 5,500 auto dealerships, banks, and credit unions. Founded in 1932, CSO is licensed in 49 states, and in Guam and Puerto Rico.
