Skip-A-Payment on a qualified loan today!
How does it work?
By skipping a payment, you are adding it to the end of the loan which could extend the term or maturity. Keep in mind it will still be accruing daily interest at the determined rate, and if your next payment does not cover the interest accrued, it will be taken out of each payment until satisfied. Skipped payments are processed for a period of one month at a time. (Ex: Two biweekly, two semi-monthly, or four weekly.)
How do I qualify?
Qualifications to extend one monthly, two biweekly, two semi-monthly, or four weekly payments include:
- All Loans and Accounts must be current and in good standing.

- Loan must not be past due.
- May not skip any of the first six (6) monthly payments.
- Skip-A-Payment application must be received five (5) days before the payment is due.
- If Skip-A-Payment application is not received by the due date, extension will be effective the next month.
- Maximum of five (5) extensions per loan agreement.
- Maximum of two (2) Skip A Payment transactions are available per rolling 12 month period.
- Consecutive monthly payments cannot be skipped.
- Loan payment cannot be skipped within ninety (90) days of the last skipped payment.
