Loans — Common Questions

How do I set up automatic loan payments? Enroll in AutoPay through online banking under Loan Accounts. Payments are debited from your designated share account on the due date. AutoPay enrollment may qualify you for a rate discount — confirm with member services.

What happens if I miss a loan payment? Contact member services at (800) 342-8575 before the due date if you anticipate difficulty. First Community Credit Union offers hardship assistance programs that may include payment deferrals or modified payment schedules for qualifying members.
