USPS Mail System Delays
USPS is experiencing unprecedented volume increases and limited employee availability due to the impacts of COVID-19. If you are experiencing delays in payments posting to your loan or credit card, this may be the cause.
As a temporary concession, when processing payments, we will refer to the postmarked date to see if there was a delay in mail delivery. If there was a delay in excess of 7 calendar days from when the mail was sent, we will post the payment with the postmarked date and not charge or reverse any incurred late fee. Payments received late but postmarked less than 7 calendar days before the due date, will be processed as a late payment.
We will provide 30 calendar days’ notice on the website and member statements when this concession will no longer be available. At that time, please refer to our Late Fees by Product or your loan or credit card documentation for further guidance.
As a reminder, the fastest and easiest way to avoid delays in the mail system is to set up a digital payment. You can use either Bank-to-Bank Transfer or ACH Loan Payments to do this.
