Skip-a-Payment

What is Skip-a-Payment?

During those times when money is tight and you need a little extra cash, skipping a loan payment may be a solution for you. Our MEMBERS1st Skip-a-Payment program lets members skip one month’s worth of payments on qualified loans, provided certain requirements are met.  There is a $30 fee per loan, not per payment skipped.

HOW TO SKIP YOUR PAYMENTS:

1) Through Online Banking: You can easily apply to skip your loan payment through our Online Banking service. Simply click on SP next to any eligible loan and follow the prompts.
