Loan payment due dates are generally 30-45 days from the loan closing date. The payment due date is notated in your loan documents and agreed upon before disbursement of your loan. Due dates and loan payment amounts can also be viewed through Online Banking, Mobile Banking or statements.

A payoff quote is available for all loans and will include accrued interest and the daily per diem.
To obtain today's payoff or a 10 business day payoff quote for auto, boat, recreational vehicle, credit cards, or personal loans, visit a financial center or contact us. Any overage of your payoff will be deposited into your savings account or returned to you in an overpayment check.

For first mortgages, please contact Dovenmuehle at (877) 636-9534.

For second mortgages/HELOCs, please visit a financial center or fax your payoff request to our Fulfillment Operations Team at (843) 737-7400. The request must include:

  • Member name
  • Member Social Security number
  • Account number
  • Payoff (good through) date
  • Return fax number
  • Copy of a signed authorization of release form from member requesting this information.

Once payoff is given, personal access line of credit loans and HELOCs will be locked and no advances can be taken.

Our loans are calculated with simple interest, the calculation of daily accrued interest on your principal loan balance.

Simple interest is calculated and assessed by multiplying the account’s current principal amount (and only the principal) by the interest rate. But as you pay down your principal with each monthly on-time payment, that principal decreases, lessening the interest assessed. If you pay more than the minimum required payment, the principal will decrease even more.
For example, a $25,000 loan at a 7% interest rate would be calculated using the formula (Principal Balance x rate)/ 365 days:

  • $25,000 x 7% = $1,750
  • $1,750/365 days = $4.80 per day
