¹  Finance charges will still accrue.

²  Eligibility Requirements: All Credit Union accounts must be in good standing (minimum balance requirements met) and no past due payments within the last 12 months. Loan(s) will be ineligible if two payments were skipped or an extension was granted during the preceding 12 month period. Member must make one (1) initial payment on the loan before requesting to Skip a Payment. Skip payments will not be processed until the $25 fee is transferred. If there is “GAP” coverage on the auto loan, you understand that skipping loan payment(s) does not change the terms and conditions of the original GAP Waiver. GAP does allow two skipped payments per year during the life of the loan and in the event of a claim, any additional payment(s) may be deducted from any payable GAP benefit. Unsecured personal loans are only allowed two skip payments over the life of the loan. For more information on loan servicing contact: 800.894.1200 ext. 8263. Request must be received prior to your due date.
