Beware of Fraud Scams

The postcard states that there is an issue with your mortgage and to call a toll-free number. This communication is not from Andrews Federal. If you receive any communications that appears to be from Andrews Federal Credit Union asking for sensitive account information – IT IS A SCAM! Visit our Security Center for more guidance on how to protect yourself.

No, you are welcome to apply for a loan before you've become a member. Once you've been approved for the loan, membership is required($5 minimum in Savings) for the loan to be disbursed.

Principal Only Payments are available on mortgage loan products only. Consumer loans are not eligible for principal only payments. On consumer loans, interest accrues daily. Each time you make a payment, the payment will first satisfy interest for the amount of days it has been since the last payment (or date of loan origination, if no first payment has been made.)

Follow the instructions below for an easy way to calculate the interest on your loan.

  1. Multiply the unpaid balance times the interest rate.
  2. Multiply the answer obtained in step one times the exact number of days between the loan disbursement (if the 1st payment) or payments.
  3. Divide the answer obtained in step two by 365 (number of days in a year) and this will equal the interest charged as reflected on your statement.

Good News: You may pay more than the amount due each month. Paying more than your required monthly payment can reduce the amount of interest you pay, and shorten the overall length of your loan. You may make additional payments to the loan at any time, however they will first satisfy any interest accrued and then they will go to any fees and then the principal.
