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.
2) By Fax or In Person: Download the application, then fax it to us at 515-232-5672 or drop it off at any branch location.
If you have questions about skipping your loan payment, or if you need help submitting the form or setting up Skip-a-Pay in Online Banking, give us a call at (800) 245-6199.
