Can I skip my car loan payment?

Life is full of twists and turns. Sometimes even the car loan payment can seem like a stretch. Guess what? You can use the Skip a Pay option to skip your car loan payment up to twice a year.

For every loan you skip, there is a $30 fee that goes back to our community. Since this money stays local, you’re not only getting a little extra spending money, you’re also helping to support community programs.

Can I defer my car payment?

Yes. If you are a member in good standing, you can skip a loan payment whenever it fits your needs up to once every six months on your qualified loans.*

How often can I use Skip a Pay?

One skip per qualified loan every six months. Normal payment schedule will resume on the month following the skip.

Does using Skip a Pay impact my credit score?

Skip a Pay does not count against your credit like a missed or late payment. Skipping a payment may extend the term of the loan. Interest will continue to accrue per your original loan agreement during the skip period.

As with all programs, be sure to read the disclaimer* to understand any possible associated impacts with skipping a payment.

Can I use Skip a Pay on my first car payment?

Loans must fund at least 90 days before a skip, and you must make three months of payments to be eligible.

How can I skip a loan payment?

Here’s how simple it is:

1. Log in to Online Banking 
2. Select the Loans/Payments tab
3. Click Skip a Pay
4. Select your eligible loan
5. Select the month you want to skip

Enjoy the freedom of some extra cash while knowing you’re helping your community.
