Advance Cancellation Deadline means the two (2) Business Days after a customer requests a Cash Advance during which they may cancel the requested Cash Advance without incurring any fees.

Business Day is any day except Saturday, Sunday, and federal holidays.

Bi-weekly means once every two weeks.

Cash Advance is the amount of the advance requested and must be repaid. It is the total of the Advance Proceeds plus the Cash Advance Fee. The Cash Advance Fee is deducted from the amount of the Cash Advance requested. The remainder, i.e. the Advance Proceeds, is disbursed to the customer by electronic funds transfer into their Checking Account.

Cash Advance Balance is the amount used to determine the Statement Balance Fee charged for each Billing Cycle. It is calculated as shown on our Rates & Terms page.

Minimum Payment is the amount a customer would agree to pay each Billing Cycle to keep the Account current. If an account is past due, a customer would need to pay the past due amount in addition to the Minimum Payment for their account to become current.

Monthly means once a month.

Qualifying String of Payments occurs when a customer successfully makes six (6) consecutive Monthly or 12 consecutive Bi-weekly/Semi-monthly payments of at least the amount of the Minimum Payment specified in their Statement by the due date shown on such Statement. In the event that a payment is made more than ten (10) days after its due date or is in an amount that falls short of the required Minimum Payment due, the number of consecutive payments counting toward a Qualifying String of Payments resets to zero. A payment made pursuant to any reduced or negotiated payment arrangement does not count toward a Qualifying String of Payments.

Semi-monthly means twice a month.

Skip-a-Pay is a reward that lets a customer skip the Minimum Payment for a Billing Cycle which is earned when a customer successfully makes a Qualifying String of Payments.
