EFT Payment Plan
Under the automatic bank or credit debit monthly payment plan, you make an initial down payment (joiner's fee + first month's dues). You then authorize the YMCA and your bank or credit card company to automatically debit your account. Your monthly dues are continuous. After two (2) unpaid drafts/months, the YMCA will immediately terminate your membership until all payments are up to date. A Joiner Fee will be reassessed to memberships that have lapsed for more than sixty (60) days.
