SKIP-A-PAY
Keep Calm and Skip-A-Pay!
Skip-A-Pay is an option that allows you to skip your monthly payments for just $25. This will free up funds that you can use towards another payment, unexpected occurrences, birthday gifts or whatever you want.
Available to use once a year
Available on most loans
Loans must be open for at least 12 months
Here are some important points to consider before you decide to skip a payment:
Breathing Room.
During an expensive time of year, you might not make it through the month without resorting to swiping your credit card – and paying high interest on every purchase you make. By skipping a large bill payment, you’ll free up some cash for your daily expenses so that you don’t finish the month in the red
Longer Loan Term.
Skipping a payment means lengthening the life of your loan. You are essentially moving this month’s payment to the end of the loan
Accrued Interest.
While you won’t be racking up credit card bills with high-interest rates this month, you will be billed for interest on the skipped payment. You will need to pay that interest at the end of the loan term
