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.
Boat Loan Refinancing
Didn’t get such a great deal the first time around? No worries, we may be able to help!
The thing that makes refinancing with UMe Credit Union so amazing is that we’re all about community and being your partner, moreso than the financial gain. There are a ton of great benefits that come from refinancing through UMe Credit Union, like:
- Lower monthly payments
- Reduced interest rates
- Better terms
- Add or remove a signer from an existing loan
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!
Boat Loan FAQs
Like other types of recreational vehicles, boat loans generally come with a term length of 10-15 years. At UMe Credit Union, we like to keep it simple. We offer great rates on 12-year loans (144 months) to keep your wallet thick and your suntan rockin’.
Getting a recreational loan through UMe Credit Union is easy peasy! Give us a call at (818) 238-2900, or visit our branch to speak with someone face to face. Don’t feel like getting out of your PJs? You can always apply 24/7 online!
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!
