When does the deferred period of my loan expire?
If your loan has a deferral period, your consumer loan agreement will specify the deferred period. Deferral periods typically range from 3 to 24 months and will begin on the date your loan is disbursed. Your first payment will be due 30 days after the deferred period ends; however, interest will begin accruing the first day after the deferred period ends.
What is a stage funding loan?
If your loan is a staged funding loan, a staged funding addendum was provided to you as part of your consumer loan agreement.
A staged funding loan involves the disbursement of the full principal balance in two stages. In the first stage, 50% of the funds are paid to the dealer of your project. Once the certificate of completion is signed and sent to 1st Security Bank, the remaining 50% will be paid to the dealer for completion of the project.
Please note that interest will begin accruing on any disbursed funds as of the date it is disbursed, but monthly payments are not due until all disbursements have been completed and the completion certificate has been signed.
How do I request a personal line of credit increase?
Please reach out to one of our personal bankers for personalized assistance regarding an increase to your personal line of credit. Contact your local branch for immediate assistance.
How do I close my personal line of credit?
To close your personal line of credit you will need to provide written consent to close the account. Please complete an Authorization to Close Line of Credit Form (Download PDF) and email it to consumerloanservicing@fsbwa.com.
How is interest calculated on my loan?
Our consumer loans are simple interest loans. Interest accrues daily on simple interest loans, and is based on the remaining unpaid principal balance, the Interest rate of the loan, and the number of days since the last payment was applied. Because each month does not have the same number of days, simple interest loans may have a fluctuating interest amount accrued for each monthly payment.
What is a UCC fee?
The UCC fee refers to the costs associated with filing and releasing a Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filing. Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a standardized set of regulations that provide banks more security and allows us to provide you with competitive rates.
Note that your loan may be secured by a UCC Filing Statement as disclosed in your loan agreement as both a filing fee and a release fee (charged at loan payoff). The Filing Statement is a security filed against the product you purchased from the dealer and installed in your home. The filing may affect your ability to refinance your current mortgage in the future.
