Start the New Year Right: The Benefits of Skip-A-Pay

The new year is the perfect time to reset your finances and give yourself a little breathing room. That’s why Corazo Credit Union is excited to offer our January Skip-A-Pay program! For just $40, you can skip your January loan payment and start 2026 stress-free.


Why Choose Skip-A-Pay?

Taking advantage of Skip-A-Pay can help you:

  • Free Up Cash – Use the extra funds for holiday expenses, bills, or savings.
  • Reduce Stress – Enjoy peace of mind knowing you have one less payment this month.
  • Plan Ahead – Start the year with more flexibility in your budget.
  • Convenient Process – Request your skip easily through online banking or our mobile app.

How It Works

  • For a $40 processing fee per request, you can skip your January 2026 payment.
  • Pay the fee by check, debit card, or authorize us to debit your Corazo savings or checking account.
  • Interest will continue to accrue during the skipped month, which may increase your total finance charge.

Which Loans Qualify?

Eligible loans include:

  • New & Used Auto Loans
  • Signature Loans
  • Recreational Vehicles
  • Credit Cards

Requirements:

  • Loan opened before March 1, 2025
  • No late payments in the past 6 months
  • Loan and account must be current and in good standing
  • Not a workout loan or currently under deferment
