Credit Sense

NW Plus CU partners with Credit Sense to provide members access to free credit score and credit report monitoring. You get your latest credit score, credit report and an understanding of key factors that impact your score – all at no cost. 

Credit Sense pulls your credit profile from TransUnion, one of the three major credit reporting bureaus, and provides you all the information you would find in your credit file including a list of open loans, accounts and credit inquiries. You will also be able to see details on your payment history, credit utilization and public records that show up on your account. 

Checking Credit Sense is a "soft inquiry", which does not affect your credit score.   

Monitoring your credit helps keep an eye out for identity theft. It can also help you manage your credit so when it comes time to borrow for a big-ticket purchase — like buying a home, car or paying for college — you have a clear picture of your credit health and can qualify for the lowest possible interest rate. 

Members must sign up for online banking to access Credit Sense. Both are entirely free and no credit card information is required to register. As long as you are a regular NW+ online banking or mobile app user, your credit score will be updated monthly.  

Early Pay

Receive your direct deposits up to two days early with Early Pay. This benefit is completely free and is included on all NW Plus CU checking accounts.

How does this work? 

Early access to ACH (Automated Clearing House) deposits depends on the day the deposit information is transmitted by the sender through the ACH network. NW Plus CU deposits the funds up to 2 calendar days prior to the settlement date when funds are received.

Skip A Pay

Take a break from the payment on your qualified NW Plus CU loan. Members in good standing who have completed at least 6 payments can apply to advance their loan payment date by one month, with the NW Plus CU Skip-A-Pay program. Handy for holidays, vacations, and any 'life happens' moments NW Plus CU wants to give you the flexibility you need from our lending products. 

Skip-A-Pay

How it works

Apply to skip a payment with this form. When you skip a payment on your qualified loan, your current due date will be advanced one month forward, just as if you had paid your monthly payment. Interest will continue to accrue on your loan during the skipped payment period and your loan maturity date will extend an additional month to account for the skipped payment month. All terms and conditions will remain the same and you'll resume your next regular payment on its regularly scheduled date!

Submitting your request

Submit your request at least one week before your payment is due: 

Email completed application to [email protected] 

Email

Print completed application, and mail to: 

NW Plus Credit Union

Attn: Skip Pay Dept

2821 Hewitt Ave

Everett, WA 98201

Or drop your completed application off at any of our 6 branch locations!

Eligibility

  • You must be in good standing (not delinquent or have a negative balance) on any accounts, including those you may be a co-signer on. Any currently delinquent loan or a loan which has been previously delinquent may be ineligible.
  • The loan must be current or in a grace period. This includes any you may be a co-signer on.
  • You must have completed six (6) payments on the loan prior to the skipped payment.
  • Loan balance must be greater than $500
  • Loan has not been skipped more than 7 times during life of loan
  • Loan has not yet been skipped this calendar year
  • Other restrictions may apply

Qualified Loan Skip-A-Pay Loan Types

  • New or used auto loans
  • Motorcycle/ATV/personal watercraft loans
  • Recreational Vehicles
  • Signature loans

The following NW Plus CU loan types are not eligible for the Skip-A-Pay program: lines of credit, Visa credit cards, OD repayments loans, Home Improvement loans and real estate loans.

Is there a Fee?

Once approved and processed, a $40 processing fee will be deducted from your primary NW Plus CU savings account. It is the member's responsibility to ensure the fee is available at the time of processing or the Skip-A-Pay will not be approved.

How will I know my application has been approved?

You'll receive confirmation via email, which will include your next payment due date. We also recommend that you check your loan account online or via your monthly statement to ensure your new Skip-A-Pay due date is correct.

Important notes

  • If your loan payment is set up via transfer within your NW Plus Online Banking or by you from another financial institution (ex: re-occurring bill pay), it is your responsibility to pause or reschedule payments. We are unable to reverse any payment you have set up that was not stopped for the chosen month. If you're unsure of how your payment is set up, contact us at: 425.297.1000.
  • If your loan payment is made via Direct Deposit or Payroll Deduction, the payment will be credited to your savings account as it is received.
  • Each member is allowed to skip a monthly payment one time per year per eligible loan; maximum 7 times during the life of a loan.
  • Please allow a minimum of one week for us to process your request.
  • If you have GAP on your loan, participating in Skip-A-Pay could have an adverse effect on your benefits if a claim is filed.
