Need a break from your loan payments?
We recognize that sometimes, being able to skip a payment can make a big difference in your month, and free up funds for other expenses. We want you to know that TruChoice allows members to skip up to 2 payments during a 12 month period. There is a $25 fee for taking advantage of this service.
Using our Skip a Pay feature is easy - you can do it yourself right in your online banking. Look for "Skip a Loan Payment" under "Manage Your Loans" on the left side of the home screen. Once you click this, select the loan in which you want to skip a payment, and the system will walk you through it from there! If you do have any questions, or need to skip a payment on a loan that doesn't show this option, please call us and we can see what options are available.
You are also able to skip a payment in the accounts section of online banking. Simply click the three dots next to the loan in which you wish to skip a payment, and click "Skip a Payment". The system will walk you through the process from there.
If you are experiencing financial hardship, please reach out to us by phone at 772.0808 or email trufcu@trufcu.com so that we can work with you on the best solution for your loan. We also offer loan modifications, and in some cases, we can defer your payment longer than 1 month.
