Frequently Asked Questions
The following must be done if you have lost or misplaced your title after the vehicle loan is paid in full and our lien is released:

Some small businesses are able to receive payments with Zelle®. Ask your favorite small business if they accept payments with Zelle®. If they do, you can pay them directly from your Direct Federal Credit Union App using just their email address or U.S. mobile number.

Only send money to people and small businesses you trust and always ensure you've used the correct email address or U.S. mobile number when sending money.
