Frequently Asked Questions:
How do I make a payment on my Personal Loan?
There are several ways to pay your Personal Loan:
- A loan expert can set up automatic payments for you when you get your Personal Loan, and you will never have to worry about making a payment again.
- Transfer funds anytime using Digital Banking. You can transfer funds from your Texell checking or savings account or an account at another financial institution.
- You can pay your loan with a debit card from another financial institution.2
- You can also mail a check, call a representative, or visit any branch to make your loan payment.
How much can I borrow?
Personal Loan amounts will vary by individual and depends on several factors, including what the loan is for, your credit score, and your ability to repay the loan.
When will I receive the funds from my Personal Loan?
In most cases, you will receive your funds on the same day your loan is approved. You can have your funds deposited into your Texell account or sent to your account at another financial institution. It is up to you. If you are consolidating debt, we'll even send the funds directly to your other creditors.
What is payment protection?
You can protect your Personal Loan with Credit Life and Credit Disability coverage.
Credit Life Insurance — This insurance policy pays off the loan balance to the credit union. It offers a Funeral Concierge service in case of the member's death.
Credit Disability Insurance — This insurance policy makes the monthly loan payment to the credit union to reduce or pay off a loan if the member becomes disabled by a covered sickness or accident.
What is Skip-a-pay?
Sometimes you need a break from paying your loan every month to free up money for other uses. With Texell's Skip-a-pay, you can skip your eligible loan3 payment twice every 12 months.
Skip-a-pay is available for a low processing fee of $25 when you use e-Branch Home Banking. To take advantage of Skip-a-pay, simply login to e-Branch and follow these simple steps:
-
From the Accounts Overview page, click on the loan you want to skip.
-
Click the "Skip-a-pay" button.
-
On the new page, select from which account you would like the fee to be deducted.
-
Read and agree to the terms, then select "Yes."
-
Click "Transfer Now."
Additionally, you can select "Skip-a-pay" as a payment option when making a regular payment.
If you do not wish to utilize e-Branch or the Texell mobile app to save $10, you can fill out and submit this Skip-a-pay form.
Can I get a Secured Loan even with poor credit?
In most cases, poor credit will not preclude you from getting a secured loan because you're securing the loan with an asset.
What account should I use to secure the loan?
It depends, but a good rule of thumb is to use a certificate of deposit if you won't need the money for the term of the certificate. Using a certificate of deposit will allow you to receive a higher dividend rate on your funds.
