Skip-a-Pay
Vacation Skip-a-Pay!
With Skip A Pay, you get a one month break from paying your loan. The loan payment is not eliminated, but rather is advanced to the next month. For example, if the 10th payment on a loan is due in July, by opting to “skip”, then the 10th payment of that loan will be made in August instead, moving all remaining payments back a month. The loan maturity date then will move one month also.
There is a modest processing fee of $30.00 per loan skipped which can be deducted from your share or share draft account, or you can send us payment with your signed authorization.
For compliance reasons, Home Equity Loans, Mortgages, Lines of Credit and VISA credit cards are not eligible. To qualify, a loan must be at least 3 months old, and in good standing. Only one skip is permitted annually per loan. Interest will continue to accumulate on your loan during the month you skip. Your loan maturity date will then be extended by one month.
Important: To skip your loan payment, you must sign up! Joint loans require both borrowers’ signatures. Stop by the office to pick up a Skip A Pay form or click here for an online Skip-a-Pay application, then print it out, sign it and mail or bring it to office.
