To make a payment on your People’s Credit Union loan, you can set up a transfer from your Credit Union checking or savings account. In addition, you now have the ability to transfer your People’s Credit Union loan payment using the Bill Pay module. Loan payments made through the Bill Pay module will be processed immediately. To make a transfer payment from your People’s Credit Union checking or savings account through the Bill Pay module, select the Bill Pay option in the top banner, choose the “Make a Loan Payment” tab and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the transfer payment.

Any excess paid over your payment amount will automatically apply to the principal less any outstanding fees.
