Once deposited or cashed, the time it takes a check to clear will depend on several factors. If the financial institution of first deposit or the paying financial institution processes checks through a clearing bank, it may add an extra day to the time it takes for the check to be entered into the Federal Reserve Bank. If the payee’s financial institution is not local, it may add extra days to the time it takes the check to reach the paying bank. If the check is damaged so the MICR line is illegible, it may add days or weeks to the time it takes the check to reach the paying financial institution.

Many financial institutions are now converting checks into optical images that are cleared electronically. The Check 21 items can clear on the same date they are received by the payee’s financial institution. Other checks may be converted into ACH electronic items which will speed up the time it takes to clear.

Although a check is considered “Stale Dated” if it was written more than 180 days prior to presentment for deposit or payment, the paying financial institution may pay the check. A check represents a contract between the issuer of the check and the payee and there is really no time limit on when that contract expires. The payee could pursue payment of a check well beyond 180 days and even for years after the check was written.

In order to determine whether an item will be placed on hold, it is necessary for one of our member service representatives to see the actual check item. You will be notified of any applicable holds.

There are a variety of reasons that a hold may be placed on your funds. Holds are placed on deposits involving checks to ensure that the deposited checks pay before funds are released. If a check is dishonored by the paying bank, the hold ensures that the funds are still in your account when the deposit is deducted. When you accept a check from anyone, it is subject to final payment and your responsibility, not the Credit Union’s, to collect from the person who wrote the check should it come back unpaid. Holds can be placed on unverified ATM deposits and Shared Branch deposits. If we are alerted that a check is coming back unpaid, a hold will be placed on your account for the amount of the check. If we suspect fraudulent activity is occurring, holds may be placed to safeguard your funds. Holds are also placed on funds when we are served with a levy or other legal notification

In order to make a principal reduction only payment, your loan must not have any interest and/or fees due.

1. Log in to Online or Mobile Banking

3. Select the account where the money is coming from, select the loan you would like to make a payment for, then select 'Other amount'

When choosing “Other amount”  it can work 3 ways:

1. If your regular payment is due, it will take the regular payment (principal + interest+ fees) and the remaining amount will go to principal.
2. If your regular payment was made on the same day you want to make an additional reduction in you loan principal, the entire amount in excess of your payment that was due  will go to principal.
3. If your regular payment was made more than a day ago, it will take the number of days following your payment in interest, then the remaining amount will go to principal. Ex. If regular payment was made a 2 days ago, it will take 2 days of interest, and the remaining amount will go to principal.

No, you can simply shred it. Our system provides all the necessary information to your biller. We encourage you to try our eBills, which are available through Bill Payment for eligible billers. You will see an "Activate eBill" or “Get eBills” option next to those billers. This will help you eliminate the paper bills coming to you in the mail.

eBills are regular statements delivered electronically by your eligible billers. You'll typically receive them each month at the same time you would receive a paper bill.* You can pay them automatically with Auto-Pay (under a certain dollar amount), or pay them manually within Online or Mobile Banking.

When you set up a biller in Bill Payment, you will have the option to set up eBills for eligible billers. To add eBills to an existing biller within Online Banking, select “Activate eBill” next to the biller on the Payment Center page. Within the Mobile Banking app, select “Activate eBill” on the billers tab.

*Please note that you'll no longer receive a paper bill if you opt into eBills. However, you can print or save your eBill statements for your records.

Zelle is a fast, safe and easy way to send and receive money with people you trust. We are not a Zelle partner institution, but our debit cards can work with Zelle when the other financial institution is a partner. Refer to our Zelle Guide on how to add your LBS Financial Debit Card on Zelle.

The CheckFree Bill Payment program is focused on making your payment on time, every time. CheckFree assumes the risk in paying your bill, whether or not the funds are available in your account.

• If your biller receives payments electronically, CheckFree will credit the biller on the due date you have indicated and then debit your account on the same day.
• If your biller receives payment by check, your account may be debited after the check is received and processed by your biller.
• If there are insufficient funds in your account, you will be responsible for an NSF fee. CheckFree will attempt to debit your account once more the following business day.
• If your payment returns, CheckFree will attempt to recover the funds from your biller.
• If CheckFree is unable to recover the payment, your Bill payment privileges may be frozen until Bill Payment recovers the funds owed to them.

Please review our Fee Schedule for current NSF and Uncollected Funds fees.

Yes! If you have not already, we recommend that you set up overdraft protection on your account. If you pay a bill and have non-sufficient funds to cover the bill, you are subject to the same NSF fee as if you wrote a check and didn't have the funds to cover it. With overdraft protection, you can protect your account from non-sufficient funds by using your Share Savings or Money Market to back up your Checking account. Contact the Credit Union to set up your overdraft protection.

Contact our Bill Payment provider, CheckFree, directly at 800.877.8021 between 4 am to 10 pm PT seven days per week. CheckFree guarantees payment of your bill by the payment date you indicate.

Recurring payments are automatic payments of the same amount. You do not have to re-enter a new payment each month. These payments can be scheduled for one of several frequencies:

• Weekly, every 2 weeks, monthly, every 2 months, every 3 months, every 6 months, annually

Yes, you can review, change, or cancel a payment at any time before it is processed. Payments may be processed up to 5 days in advance of the payment due date entered by the user.

Payments can be set up as much as 365 days in advance. Recurring payments can be scheduled to occur over any time period in the future, including indefinitely.

This is our current payment schedule:

• Payments to electronic billers are delivered in 2 days
• Payments issued by check are delivered in 5 days
• When you schedule a payment, the payment calendar indicates the earliest available payment date
• Approximately 77% of payments to businesses receive payments electronically

That depends on whether the payee receives electronic payments or checks. Electronic payments post in 2 business days. Payees that receive payments by check will display as having a lead time of 5 days. Once the checks are mailed, we have no control over how long it takes your payee to debit your account. Paper checks may clear earlier than the pay date selected by the account holders(s) since they may be deposited by the payee upon receipt.

As long as you access the Bill Payer service at least once every 12 months, your billers and payment history will remain active and available.

Most payments to major billers and utility companies are sent electronically. These payments will typically be withdrawn from your account on the same date you select for the biller to receive your payment. Other payments are sent via a paper check drawn on your account. The checks will generally debit your account a couple of days following the date the check is deposited/cashed by your biller. These types of payments are typically for smaller merchants such as a gardener, pool cleaning service, medical bill, etc. Please note that paper checks may clear an account earlier than the account holder anticipated (including earlier than the pay date selected by the account holder), since they may be deposited by the payee upon receipt.

Most paper check payments are cleared through your account and you will be able to view these check images within Online Banking and print them. The easiest way to find copies of these checks is by finding the transaction by clicking on History, then finding the transaction and clicking on the check icon to view the check. You may also enter the check number to search for it in the box above your transaction history. If you cannot find a copy of your check, the Credit Union still may be able to provide it. Just call the Credit Union (800.527.3328) and ask for copies of the check. Please refer to our Fee Schedule for our check copy fees

If your payment has not yet been sent by CheckFree to your biller you may cancel the payment. Within the Mobile Banking app, select the scheduled payment on the Activity tab and select “Cancel.” Within Online Banking, select the pending payment on the Payment Center screen, and select “Cancel.” There’s no fee to stop the payment by clicking the cancel button. If the cancel button is not showing next to the payment, call the Credit Union directly to stop the payment (800.527.3328). Stop payments on transactions that have already been sent to the biller are subject to the Credit Union’s stop payment fee. View our Fee Schedule for the current stop payment fee.

You can make payments to virtually any business or individual in the United States. Exceptions include:

• Tax payments
• Court ordered payments
• Payment to payees outside of the United States
• Payments to other institutions for the purpose of making a deposit

Bill Payment is fully secure. It is recommended by security experts over paper bills to help protect against check fraud and identity theft.

This security protects your use of all the products offered in Online Banking (Bill Payment and eStatements).

Our Share Savings account requires a minimum deposit of $5, plus a one-time membership fee of $1 (per Member on the account). You must maintain the $5 minimum balance to keep your Membership in good standing.

We will send monthly paper statements or eStatements for Members with checking accounts. If you do not have a checking account, you will receive quarterly paper statements or eStatements unless you make electronic withdrawals or deposits (ACH) or have ATM activity associated with this account in a given month. Then we will send you a monthly statement.

This account can be opened at any of our branches. Just stop by and we'll get you set up.

LBS Financial Credit Union went through a conversion affecting all of our credit cards (moving our credit cards from an older system to a new system). As part of this process, we created new product names/designs and offered new benefits. We did have to issue new card numbers for every Member due to the conversion from one system to another. Members can activate and use their new contactless credit card starting March 26, 2023.

We encourage you to check the card numbers and expiration dates you have on file with every merchant to ensure your payments continue smoothly. Some merchants are able to update the card number automatically (once your new card is activated), but there may be some that require you to make a manual update.

New credit card eStatements can be accessed within the Credit Card Center in Online & Mobile Banking. Older eStatements can still be accessed within the eDocuments section of Online & Mobile Banking (for up to 18 months from statement date).

A black out period occurred between March 24th through March 25th (no new points earned during this time). On Thursday, March 23, 2023 all remaining Visa Gold Points were paid to your Share Savings account.  On March 26, 2023, Members should activate their new Platinum Rewards Credit Card and can take advantage of the new rewards program.

No. You will need to add your new Onshore or Platinum Rewards Credit Card to your Mobile Wallet on or after March 27, 2023.

To add eBills to an existing biller within Online Banking, select “Activate eBill” next to the biller on the Payment Center page. Within the Mobile Banking app, select “Activate eBill” on the billers tab.

*Please note that you'll no longer receive a paper bill if you opt into eBills. However, you can print or save your eBill statements for your records.

Most Payees/Billers will use their established billing cycle, so you can expect to receive your bill at approximately the same time of the month that you currently receive your paper bill.

When you log on, you'll see the number of new E-Bills, statements, and notices you've received. You'll also receive a reminder email to notify you of new E-Bills in your account mailbox if they have not been viewed within four days of delivery.

You will no longer receive a paper bill. However you can print a paper copy of any E-Bill, if you like. Your bills, statements, and notices are available online for six months from their arrival date. Contact your financial institution/payee directly for records after six months.

A DBO (Debit Origination) is an automatic withdrawal set up by the Credit Union (on behalf of the Member), from an account at another financial institution, using a routing and account number to satisfy a consumer loan payment.

Statements, tax documents, billing notices, and eNotices (Share IRA and Share Certificate disclosures and maturity notices) are currently available within eStatements. You can choose which ones you prefer to remain paper or make them all electronic!

If you switch from paper statements to electronic statements, you will no longer receive a paper statement in the mail. You may always switch back to paper statements if you change your mind.

If you have already registered for eStatements: click on eDocuments in the top left toolbar within Online Banking. Documents are stored here for up to 18 months.

If you have not registered for eStatements: click on eDocuments and switch to electronic for any documents on the list. Then, make sure to read the disclosure and accept terms. Once you agree, you will have access to the system. You will not have an eStatement ready for you until the next statement period.

There are three ways you can start the process: apply online, call 800.527.3328 and ask to speak to one of our loan experts, or call us to schedule a visit with a loan expert at one of our branches.

Both loans use the value in your current home to secure a low rate. A Home Equity Loan is paid out as one large sum, whereas a HELOC approves you for a limit that works similar to a line of credit or credit card, which you can then borrow from here and there as you need it (you'll only pay interest on what you actually borrow). A Home Equity Loan is great if you know exactly how much you want to borrow; a HELOC might be a better choice if you have ongoing expenses.

It depends on the value of your home and any current loans outstanding. Get pre-approved online today and start the process.

There are three ways you can start the process: apply online, call 800.527.3328 and ask to speak with one of our loan experts, or call us to schedule an appointment to meet a loan expert at one of our branches.

The meeting will last approximately 1 hour and will be held either at the Escrow Company’s office or a Notary may come to your home. The steps below explain what happens during and after closing:

1. The respective closing agent reviews the settlement sheet with you.
2. You sign all loan documents.
3. You then present a cashier's check or wire funds to pay closing costs (if applicable).
4. If your monthly payments are to include property taxes and insurance, a new escrow account (or reserve) is opened when the loan is funded.
5. The loan is funded by the Lender. The funds are transferred to the Escrow, who in turn, instructs the Title company to set up recording of the documents. The Deed and any other documents are usually recorded the following day. Once recording is confirmed, the Escrow agent can disburse funds for any payoffs. Remaining funds are sent to you with the Closing Disclosure.

Prior to the closing, our Residential Lending Department closer will contact you to let you know the amount of funds you must bring to the Closing Meeting. Personal checks are not accepted--cashier's checks or wired funds only.

The closing (or settlement) of the loan is an actual meeting that takes place at the Escrow Office, one of our branches, or the escrow's signer can come to your home or place of employment. At that time, you'll be asked to sign the closing documents and pay any outstanding closing costs you are responsible for.

If you are a first time home buyer and your home loan exceeds 80% loan to value, you will be required to purchase Mortgage Insurance and attend a First Time Home Buyers Seminar. You can learn more about home buying and take the First Time Home Buyers test online. Be sure to enter the Buyers Ed Code: homeloans@lbsfcu.org.

That depends on you and your current financial situation and long term financial goals. The following is a brief analysis of each type of loan, and the benefits of choosing one type over another.

• Fixed Rate Loans
  Fixed Rate Loans, by their very nature, are the most stable of the loan categories. With interest rates and payments fixed over the life of the loan (generally 15, 20 or 30 years), homeowners can rely on knowing exactly what their mortgage payment will be each and every month. If it is important to you to have your rate and payment constant, or if you plan to be in this home for a long period of time without moving, a fixed rate loan may be the best option for you. See Mortgage Loan Rates.
• Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs)
  Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs), conversely, often offer low start rates that then change with the marketplace. It is the low start rate that makes ARMs more attractive to many borrowers. An ARM is a great option if you are planning to move from this home within a few years. By having a low start rate, borrowers benefit from increased buying power, with the ability to afford a higher loan amount than with many fixed rate loans. Buyers, however, need to keep in mind that the rates can change dramatically once the fixed-rate period ends. Even with pre-set life caps, which limit how much the rate can "adjust," rates can increase substantially. See Mortgage Loan Rates.
• Fixed/Adjustable Combination Loans
  Fixed/Adjustable Combination Loans are described by many as the "best of both worlds." These loans enable borrowers to enjoy the stability of a fixed rate loan during the early years of the loan, while also experiencing the increased buying power of an ARM. Start rates on this type of mortgage are often lower than standard fixed rate loans. Fixed/adjustable combination loans are often ideal for individuals who anticipate earning greater income during the later years of the loan, but would benefit from a lower payment in the beginning. See Mortgage Loan Rates

PMI is a necessary expense when you buy a house with less than a 20% down payment. PMI is additional insurance written by a private company protecting the mortgage lender from mortgage default.

Plan on 1%-3% of the market value of your home. For example, if your home has a market value of $500,000, property taxes might be $5,000 to $15,000, depending on where you live. If your property is located in a Mello Roos bond area, property taxes may be affected. Ask your LBS Financial loan specialist about your specific property area.

A ratio of the amount of money you wish to borrow compared to the value of the property you wish to purchase. An 80% LTV on a $100,000 property would equal an $80,000 loan. The property value is determined by either the appraised value or the purchase price, whichever is less.

A neutral party who holds the legal documents and funds on behalf of a seller and buyer or a lender and a borrower, until the parties have satisfied all of the conditions to "close."

An origination fee is what the lender charges for making the mortgage loan. The origination fee may include processing the application, underwriting and funding the loan, and other administrative services. Origination fees are expressed as a percentage of the loan amount. One percent equals 1% of the loan amount.

Here is a list of the information you should collect and have ready once you accept our Loan Estimate (following the application). Original documentation, when requested, is preferred and will be returned to you promptly.

Wise investors usually order a credit report to review its accuracy. This step gives them a chance to address any errors or mishaps before approaching the lender. As part of the process, LBS Financial will eventually order your credit report, so it's a good idea to address it beforehand so as to avoid delays. Note that LBS Financial cannot use the credit report you have obtained and will need to order a credit report as well.

The closing (or settlement) of the loan is an actual meeting that takes place at the Escrow Office, one of our branches, or at your home or place of employment. At that time, you'll be asked to sign the closing documents and pay any outstanding closing costs you are responsible for.

At LBS Financial, you'll find a number of home loans for every type of refinance. The goal here is to match the benefits of a specific loan type with your goals. So, let's first look at your goals or needs:

Our LBS Financial loan specialist will be happy to go over the options in more detail. Give us a call or visit a branch today.

You can usually lower the rate by paying more points. Points are fees paid to the lender at closing. Each point is equal to 1% of the loan amount. For a $100,000 loan, a point equals $1,000. Two points would be $2,000. If you have the cash, it's a good way to save money on interest over the life of your loan.

Below is a chart showing all of the types of potential closing costs associated with a home loan and which fees may be charged by LBS Financial, depending on your loan type:

During a refinance, you may have costs for adjustments or prorations. These are called pre-paid costs, such as property taxes, prepaid interest, and homeowner hazard insurance.

Comparing the features of each loan will help you reach the best decision:

When you refinance your mortgage, you're actually replacing it with a brand new mortgage loan. Expect to go through a mortgage application process very similar to that of your original mortgage. Refinancing is often a sound financial choice that can allow you to meet a variety of needs, such as lowering your monthly payments; changing from adjustable to fixed rate loan; taking cash out of your current home equity; or eliminating private mortgage insurance.

There are no limits on transfers from LBS Financial Checking accounts or lines of credit.

Repeating or recurring transfers are automatic transfers of the same amount of money, from one account at LBS Financial to another account. For example, from your Checking account to your auto loan or home loan. You do not have to re-enter a new transfer each month. They are a great way to make sure you never miss a monthly payment or savings goal.

These transfers can be scheduled for a variety of frequencies, including: daily, weekly, monthly, and annually.

To set up a repeating transfer, click on the “Make a Transfer” button in the left toolbar of Online Banking. Select the account you want the money to come from, and then where you want the money to go to. Enter the amount, and then select "Repeating Transfer" and submit.

In Online Banking, click on "Transfers and Payments" and "Make a Transfer" or tap on "Transfer" within the Mobile Banking app. Choose the account you want to withdraw from and where you want to send the money to. If you are sending to another Member, select "Another Member" under where the money is going, and enter their account number and last name. Enter the amount and submit.

If you would like to transfer funds to an external account where you are an account owner, select “External Transfers” within Online Banking and then select “Add new payee.” Verify and enter requested external account information, then click “Link account.” Within two business days, there will be two small deposits under $1 in your external account. When you see these transactions, return to “External Transfers” on your LBS Financial account to confirm the amounts. You will now be able to transfer money to and from your external account by selecting it on the “Make a Transfer” page in Online Banking or by clicking “Transfer” in the Mobile Banking app.

If the term of the account is three (3) months or less, the penalty is equal to thirty (30) days of dividends.

If the term of the account is less than one (1) year, but longer than three (3) months, the penalty is equal to ninety (90) days of dividends.

If the term of the account is one (1) year or greater, the penalty is the amount equal to one hundred and eighty (180) days dividends.

If the amount withdrawn reduces the principal amount below the stated minimum, we will cancel your Share Certificate and the penalty will apply to the entire balance in the certificate account. The remaining funds will be transferred to your Share Savings account.

The best way to earn the most while always freeing up some of your funds is through Certificate Laddering. Laddering is a strategy that lets you take advantage of higher dividend rates and keep your money more readily accessible.

Say you have $10,000 to invest in Share Certificates. Put $2,500 each into Share Certificates that mature in 6, 12, 18 and 24 months. Six months later, your first Share Certificate matures, yielding you $2,500 plus dividends earned. If you need the money, you cash in. If you don't, you reinvest in a new 24 Month Share Certificate at a higher dividend rate.

At 12 months, another Share Certificate matures. Again, if you don't need the money, you reinvest in a new 24 Month Share Certificate.

By the end of 24 months, all your money is earning at the 24 month rate. Yet a Share Certificate matures each 6 months, so you can tap into the cash if you need it. If you prefer to tie up your money for longer time spans, you could invest in one, two, three, and five year Share Certificates.

You can check your balance 24/7 days week by using our automated phone banking, HomeTeller. You can also speak to one of our representatives during normal business hours.

If you purchased your vehicle from a dealership, please contact that dealership directly to determine the status of your registration. The dealership is responsible for completing and filing the paperwork necessary for properly registering your vehicle.

If you purchased your vehicle from a private party, please contact the DMV Services Department of the Credit Union.

To initiate a name change, please visit any branch of the Credit Union or contact the DMV Services Department of the Credit Union.

Titles are issued by the State of California DMV, typically within 7 to 10 business days after the date the lien is released by the Credit Union. NOTE: The Credit Union may not release its lien interest in a vehicle for up to 10 days to allow for a check to clear, etc. If an appropriate amount of time has passed and you have not yet received your title, please contact the DMV Services Department of the Credit Union.

Before the Credit Union can release its lien interest in a vehicle, the loan which is secured by the vehicle must be paid in full, including any additional fees and charges (if any). To obtain an immediate release of the Credit Union's lien, the loan must be paid with cash or a Cashier's Check. Upon release of the Credit Union's lien we can issue a Lien Satisfied form which can be used to transfer title to the vehicle. The actual title will be issued by the DMV (see question above).

Title, registration and lien issues vary greatly from state to state. You should contact the Department of Motor Vehicles in your new state of residence to determine what forms may be needed to properly register the vehicle and record the Credit Union's lien. Once you have identified what needs to be done, please contact the DMV Services Department of the Credit Union at 800.527.3328, we will be more than happy to assist you with this process.

You may request a Lien Satisfied for a loan that has been paid in full by contacting the DMV Services Department of the Credit Union at 800.527.3328.

As a major auto lender, the Credit Union participates in the State of California, Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) paperless title system. This means the Credit Union never holds a physical paper title to secure your loan but rather the lien is recorded electronically with the DMV. When your loan has been paid in full, the Credit Union releases its lien electronically which causes the DMV to issue a paper title which is mailed to the last address of record as known by the DMV. If you changed your address and have not updated the DMV, you may experience a delay in receiving your title. Mailing time for the DMV is typically 7 to 10 business days after the date the lien is released by the Credit Union. NOTE: The Credit Union may not release its lien interest in a vehicle for up to 10 days to allow for a check to clear, etc.

Please call us to get your pay off amount.

The Credit Union requires that all collateral used to secure a loan be properly insured at all times during the life of the loan. Any lapse in coverage, or insufficient coverage, will cause the Credit Union to purchase insurance on your behalf to protect the collateral. We will add the cost of that coverage to the outstanding loan balance, generally resulting in higher monthly payments. If you feel that insurance has been added in error please contact our insurance monitoring department at 800.422.4223 extension 1010. Please keep in mind that any insurance added to your loan is designed to protect ONLY the collateral and does not include personal liability coverage.

Please use the following links to contact a credit bureau: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion.

The Credit Union reports the credit experience of its Members to all three major credit bureaus: Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. If your account relationship is not properly reflected with any one of these credit reporting agencies please contact the Credit Union.

In order to remove anyone from an open loan with the Credit Union, that loan must be rewritten (refinanced) removing the individual from the new obligation. Any consideration for a rewrite will be subject to the Credit Union's normal underwriting guidelines and prevailing rates and terms.

You may make a payment to your loan by transferring from within your LBS Financial account using Online or Mobile Banking, transferring from an account at another financial institution using LBS EasyPay, Visa cash advance from other Visa credit card at a branch, Loan Payment by Phone, mailing your payment or using your other institution's bill payer service

Yes, we can process your payment by making a transfer from another account at the Credit Union or you can send a payment from another financial institution through our Loan Payment by Phone service (view our fee schedule to see all the fees for this service).

In order to accurately quote an interest rate to any applicant, the Credit Union must obtain its own credit report; we are not able to use copies of credit reports provided by a Member or third-party.

The Credit Union has a wide variety of loans available for individuals to purchase homes, vehicles, etc. The Credit Union does not offer loans to businesses or loans to individuals where the proceeds will be used for business purposes

You may get "pre-approved" (subject to credit approval) for any type of loan the Credit Union offers. Pre-approvals or "pre-qualifications" are good for up to sixty (60) days from the date of the application. To get pre-approved you may apply online visit any branch or call the Credit Union.

The Credit Union reports to all three major credit bureaus; Experian, Equifax and TransUnion its credit experience with the primary and secondary borrowers on any given loan. If a co-signer is in the "secondary" position on a loan (as is typically the case) then they will have that fact reported to all three credit reporting agencies.

It all depends on you. Getting Credit Union financing directly from a dealer can be more convenient as you only have one stop to make, the dealer is open longer hours and on weekends, etc. However, some dealers may charge you a slightly higher interest rate for this convenience. If you have the time and availability to get financing directly from your Credit Union you may, but not always, get a more favorable interest rate. More importantly, with a Credit Union "pre-approval" you can shop at several dealers, getting the best bottom line price for your new vehicle.

Due to the conversion to a new system for credit cards, there is a delay in the timing of when your payment will be applied to your credit card. Transfers from LBS Financial accounts to credit cards are withdrawn from your shares immediately and may take 1-2 business days to be reflected on your credit card balance. Payments made after 2:00pm Pacific Time will be processed on the following business day. Continued improvements to the payment process will be coming in the near future.

There is no Cash Advance fee or Balance Transfer fee, but interest is assessed at a different rate than purchases for each, and there is no grace period before interest begins to accrue. Learn more about rates and fees.

There are many options for making a payment to your LBS Financial Credit Card:

• Credit Card Center in Online & Mobile Banking: Make a one-time, scheduled, or recurring payment through Online or Mobile Banking. Once enrolled and logged in to Online or Mobile Banking, select Credit Card Center from the menu. You may select your financial institution from the list within the Credit Card Center to make your payment from and connect your account by entering your online or mobile banking credentials, or you can manually enter your financial institution information along with your account number and routing number. The Credit Card Center is the most feature-rich payment option and includes the ability to make recurring payments of your statement balance, minimum payment, and more.
• Transfers within Online & Mobile Banking: Make a one-time or scheduled payment through Online or Mobile Banking using the Transfers feature.

You may select an account at the Credit Union to transfer funds. If you are transferring a payment to a credit card that does not appear within your Online & Mobile Banking, please select the transfer to “Another Member” option, entering the loan ID using the last four digits of the card number (such as L:1234). Transfers from LBS Financial accounts to credit cards are withdrawn from your shares immediately and may take 1-2 business days to be reflected on your credit card balance. Payments made after 2:00pm Pacific Time will be processed on the following business day.

LBS Financial's Credit Card accounts come with a 25-day grace period, but it is for purchases only. If you have a cash advance balance, it is subject to interest immediately. If you did not pay your balance in full within the 25-day grace period, you would also be assessed interest.

For example, if the statement is dated March 28, your payment for the total balance would need to be posted on or before April 25 of the same year in order to avoid interest on your purchases.
