There are two types of loans – simple and precomputed. With a simple interest loan, your interest is calculated based on your loan balance on the day your car payment is due, so the amount of interest you pay each month changes. With precomputed interest, the interest is calculated at the start of your loan and based on your total loan amount.

We recommend letting us know prior to traveling outside of Washington State. Visa’s fraud prevention systems may block debit and credit card transactions made in other states or outside of your routine purchasing area. To prevent this, use Travel Notes in Online or Mobile Banking to enter the dates and your destinations before you go.
If you know the current PIN you may call 1.855.477.1141, option 3, to change the PIN. If you’ve forgotten your PIN you will need to call us or visit a Sound branch to have a new card reissued.
We do not have access to debit and credit card PINs. To protect members with lost or stolen cards, cardholders must know their current PIN in order to change that PIN.

No. VAU supports only card number and expiration date changes.
Enrollment is automatic. All Sound cards are automatically enrolled.
No. Not all merchants participate in the VAU service.

Not at this time. This is a valuable service that will allow for uninterrupted service of recurring payments.
