Understanding Your Loan Advance

With each loan advance, a percentage of the advanced amount is deposited into a Salary Advance Cash Account until the Salary Advance Cash Account balance reaches $500. Funds in the Cash Account belong to you and earn dividends. Cash Account funds up to $500 are held as collateral for your Salary Advance Loan and can only be accessed under certain conditions.3 The entire advanced amount plus accrued interest must be repaid in a single payment via Funds Transfer from an SECU share or deposit account on your next pay date.
