Ways to pay your loan

  • Payroll Deduction

    If you have a loan with the credit union, payroll deduction is a convenient way to have your loan payments automatically deducted from your paycheck.

    To find out if you’re eligible for payroll deduction, contact your employer’s benefits department. If you already have payroll deduction set up with the credit union and want to set up automatic loan payments, call us at (818) 238-2900.

     

  • Automatic Transfers

    Automatic transfer allows you to make loan payments on a recurring schedule, from a UMe account or most any other financial institution.

    To set up an automatic transfer, fill out our Share to Loan Transfer Form or give us a call at (818) 238-2900.

Interested in cashing out?

If you have equity in your boat (i.e. your boat’s value is greater than your outstanding balance), you can “cash out” by refinancing your boat loan. This will give you access to a cost-effective source of money at a low, fixed rate.

Example: If your current boat is worth $45,000 according to J.D. Power, but you only owe $40,000 on your existing loan, we will refinance your loan for the $40,000 balance AND fund an additional $5,000.

You can then use the extra cash for anything—from paying off high-rate debt to taking a much-needed vacation. You’re the boss!

GAP stands for Guaranteed Asset Protection and pays the difference between what you owe and what your insurance company will pay — filling the gap!

When you purchase a vehicle, it depreciates the moment you drive it away. So, if your vehicle is stolen, or totaled in an accident, you could end up owing more than the vehicle is worth. GAP Insurance coverage is designed to pay the difference between the insurance settlement and the loan balance, so you don’t owe money for a vehicle you no longer have.

To make things super simple and stress-free, we will make sure you get all the extra info you need before you start paying for any GAP insurance coverage. Plus, you can cancel GAP at any time. If you cancel your GAP within 90 days, you can get a full refund.

Let's keep your dreams afloat!
