Saving Money Just Got Easier For University of Connecticut Employees

In today's economy, opportunities to save money are rare. But now, as an University of Connecticut employee, you have access to a network of insurance companies and lenders with competitive rates and discounted pricing through our voluntary benefits partner, YouDecide.

With one quick call or visit to the Internet or through the toll free number, you can get an insurance quote, obtain a great rate on a mortgage, and finance a boat along with many other services all in one place. Take a look at the many services available.

Home Finance
Interest rates are at the lowest they have been in years. That means savings could be in the tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new mortgage or when refinancing. A rate decrease of 3% on a $100,000, 15-year loan could save you as much as $30,000 over the life of your loan. Don't wait, these rates won't stay this low forever.

Auto Insurance
When you're ready to shop around for auto insurance, let us do the work. All the insurers in the YouDecide network are well-known companies who offer competitive rates, including Liberty Mutual, American Express Property Casualty and Amica. All insurance companies in the You Decide network have an "A" rating or higher from A.M. Best.

Recreational Marine Finance & Insurance
Whether your favorite leisure-time activity is sailing the high seas or cruising the lake, your watercraft needs can be met here. Insurance coverage is available for small and large boats, personal watercraft, marine facilities and more. For financing needs, You Decide has partnered with Key Bank USA, which has over 50 years of experience in marine financing.
