LOAN ASSISTANCE

  • Skipping up to four monthly payments (instead of the usual two) within a rolling 12-month period on auto loans, signature loans, or credit cards.

1Courtesy pay is a courtesy service that may allow overdrafts of your checking account for certain transactions. This means even if you don’t have money available in your checking account, Sunward may still authorize and pay automatic bill payments and other transactions that result in overdrafts to your account. Courtesy pay may even cover overdrafts of everyday debit card transactions (excluding ATM withdrawals) if you opt for this coverage. Sunward pays overdrafts using courtesy pay at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of overdraft transaction. Limits on courtesy pay amounts apply.
