Skip-A-Pay is our offer to postpone one month1 of scheduled loan payments on your eligible2 RiverLand loans.

It's not just a one-time offer too! You can skip payments two times a year on each loan, based on a 12-month rolling period, making it a great way to free up extra cash when you need it.

There are plenty of reasons to skip a payment. Here are just a few examples:

  • Back-to-school expenses
  • Holiday gift shopping
  • Unexpected home repairs
  • Last-minute vacation plans
  • Just because you can!

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Skip-A-Pay affect my loan amount?

It varies based on your loan type, terms, and the payments you've already made.

Generally, a member's monthly payment amount stays the same. The skipped payments are added to the end of the loan, which may extend the term and increase the interest charged if no extra principal payments are made.

Will Skip-A-Pay affect my Credit Score?

No, using the Skip-A-Pay option to postpone a payment does not negatively impact your credit score as a missed or late payment would.
