Information for customers currently deferring payments

If you are currently deferring payments on a personal loan, you are not required to make a payment during your deferral period. However, because interest continues to accrue during your deferral period, it is to your benefit to make full or partial payments at any time you are able. Be sure to carefully review all information provided about what to expect during and after the deferral period.

Yes. Interest will be charged according to the terms of your account.

For personal loans, the interest is not added to your unpaid balance and more of the next payment(s) will be applied to interest. This may result in additional interest accruing on the principal balance over the life of the loan.

For Personal Loans: If you only make your scheduled payment amount each month after the deferral period ends, the additional interest that accrued during the deferral period will result in a larger amount owed on the last payment.

For all accounts, you can always make payments during the deferral period and they will be applied in accordance with the terms of your credit agreement.

Yes, as a result of not making payments while in deferral your maturity date will be extended by the number of months your account was in deferral.

For personal loans, late fees and returned payment fees will be waived.

Please refer to information in the terms and conditions in our online payment-assistance request form for details on automatic or recurring payments you may have set up, and any actions you may need to take during and after the deferral period.

Yes. You are encouraged to make full or partial payments at any time during your deferral period, if desired.

During the payment deferment period: If your account was current, we will continue to report it to the credit bureaus as current. If your account was past due, we will not change the delinquency status we previously reported to the credit bureaus.

After the payment deferment period: If your account was current, we will continue to report it to the credit bureaus as current. If your account was past due, we will resume reporting the delinquency status we previously reported to the credit bureaus.
