Congratulations! Thank you again for choosing Emery to finance your auto loan. You don’t need to do anything to get your car title. We are able to see when your loan pays off, and we’ll start the process to release our lien on your title so the car is completely yours!

The timeline can vary depending on the type of title you have (paper or electronic). However, the average wait time is 2 weeks. You will receive a letter in the mail to confirm we’ve released our lien.

If you have an Emery account making payments to an Emery loan, the payments should stop automatically once the loan is paid off. If you are making payments via another financial institution, they may not stop automatically.

If you pay off your loan in person, we are able to have you sign a form to authorize the cancellation of the automatic payment. If we continue to receive funds for the loan payment, it will be deposited to your Emery savings or checking account. An employee will give you a courtesy call to inform you of this occurrence. This means the other financial institution has not stopped the payments, and you can give them a call.

No matter what other account you want to open at Emery, you will need to open a savings account. The $5 in your savings account makes you an Emery member. As long as that $5 is in your account, you’re able to take advantage of any Emery product for life, no matter where you live!

The main difference between credit unions and banks is ownership. Banks are owned by shareholders. The shareholders elect a paid board of directors that works to maximize shareholder return. In contrast, a credit union is a not-for-profit financial cooperative owned by its members. A credit union’s board is made up of unpaid volunteers from the membership, elected by members.

This system ensures lower loan rates and higher savings rates than typically available at banks, since a bank’s main priority is to maximize profits delivered to shareholders. However, any profits received by the credit union flow back to the membership in the form of lower loan rates, higher savings rates, and enhanced member services. Because our priority is, and always will be, you.
