Skip-A-Pay

We get it. Life happens, and sometimes it leaves you short on cash. That's where we come in. Skip-A-Pay allows members in good standing to skip their monthly payment on any eligible loan, once per calendar year.*

Simply choose the month you wish to skip your payment, then follow these simple steps:

  1. Complete and submit a Skip-A-Pay Application. All borrowers of the loan, including any joint borrower, cosigner, or guarantor (if applicable) must sign the application.
  2. Completed applications must be received five days prior to the due date of the loan payment you wish to skip. Paper applications may be delivered to the branch, or mailed to 13201 Granger Road, Suite 1, Garfield Heights, OH 44125.
  3. There is a $35.00 processing fee for each loan payment you wish to skip. You may pay by transfer from your ECU account, with cash, or by check payable to Emerald Credit Union.
Please note that interest and Emerald Payment Protection (if applicable) will continue to accrue on your loan during the skipped payment period. Your loan maturity (final payment) date will be extended with each skipped payment. All other loan terms and conditions remain the same.
