Budget and Debt Help
Short-Term Solutions
If you’ve just had a rough couple of months and need a break to recover, here are some options to help you through.
Skip a Payment
If you can’t cover the cost of all your bills short-term, this may help. For a minimal fee, AHCU allows you to skip up to three payments over the lifetime of a loan — no questions asked.
Lower Your Interest Rate
If you have credit card debt on other credit cards, consider transferring the balance to a VISA card from AHCU. Our interest rates average 10% below the national average.
Earlier Pay Day
Access your money up to two (2) days earlier by using Direct Deposit for recurring payments into your AHCU checking or savings account.
