For ease of use, our system assigns a randomly generated account number and access code. In addition, another data point must be provided to access the account. This meets industry practices to have multi-factor login access.
Security software may recommend you change your password or indicate it may be compromised. UAS can assign a new Access Code if requested. Please know that due to the length of the code and being numeric, this warning is unlikely to change. Any attempt to access your account would also require the additional question to be answered correctly.
Your Payment Card and ACH information is not stored in our portal. No one can access your full payment information even if they have managed to compromise your account. All that is seen is the last 4 digit. We never store the CVV anywhere in our database.
A Co-Applicant will have full access to the Account along with the primary account-holder. After completion of the contract signing process, a copy of the Contract document packet will be provided to the Co-Applicant. The packet will include a Welcome Letter, introducing Universal Account Servicing, LLC (UAS) and the uPortal360 platform, along with information needed to access the Account online. When a Co-Applicant attempts to login to the uPortal360 platform, they will be asked security questions, such as the Birthday or Last 4 of SSN of the primary account-holder. As an Authorized Party on an Account, a Co-Applicant will have the same access and authority on the Account as the primary account-holder when communicating with UAS.

UAS may offer special promotional interest terms, such as a deferred interest term, for select purchases.
A deferred interest promotion is not a zero-interest loan; rather, it means that interest is calculated, but not
added to your Account balance if 1) the balance is paid in full within the promotional period, and 2) scheduled monthly
payments are made on time each month. If the conditions of your special promotional interest terms are not met, interest
will be charged from the date of the qualifying purchase at the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) disclosed in your Agreement or
Charge Slip, as applicable.
The terms of any special promotional interest terms are detailed in your Agreement or Charge Slip, as applicable. For example,
you may see special promotional interest terms such as:
- No Interest if Paid in Full Within 6 Months
- No Interest if Paid in Full Within 12 Months
- No Interest if Paid in Full Within 24 Months
Review your monthly billing statement for important details regarding any applicable special promotional interest terms.
Regular Account terms apply to non-promotional purchases and, after a special promotion ends, to qualifying purchases. Special promotional interest terms are subject to credit approval.

Please watch this educational video about Deferred Interest promotion.
FAQs
How do I know if I have a Promotional Offering?
Any “Special Interest Terms” will be noted in the Agreement or Charge Slip, as applicable, and are listed on the billing statement.
Is this a No Interest or a 0% Interest loan?
No. Interest is still calculated from the purchase date at the APR disclosed in your Agreement or Charge Slip, as applicable. By meeting the terms of the promotion, interest will not be added to your Account.
How do I see the promotional balance amount?
The new balance disclosed in the Summary of Account Activity section on your billing statement, is the amount you must pay in full by the end of the promotional period to avoid paying the total deferred interest charges.
How do I see the deferred interest charge?
On your billing statement the "Total Deferred Interest Charges" show the consumer how much-deferred interest will be charged if they do not meet the terms of the promotion.
What are some flexible options to make it easier to pay your promotional balance by the end of the promotional period?
- Choose how you want to pay.
- Take advantage of Autopay.
- Make larger payments less frequently. (Even if you make larger payments less frequently you must still make the Minimum Monthly Payment to avoid penalties & fees).
If I only make the minimum payment due each month, will I pay off the entire purchase by the end of the promotional period?
You may not pay off the entire purchase by only making the minimum payment due, you may have to pay additional amounts to pay the balance in full by the end of the promotional period.
Do I have to make equal payments to meet the promotional period?
No, but you do have to pay at least the minimum monthly payment on time each month. You must also pay the balance in full prior to the expiration date to avoid paying interest.
Will my monthly payment amount change after the promotion expiration date?
No, your monthly payments are based on a percentage of the highest account balance.
Will my interest be compounded and result in more interest being charged? If so, can I decline the promotional offer?
No, the promotional term does not result in more interest being accrued or assessed. Your loan is a Simple Interest loan with payments based on a percentage of the highest account balance. The Deferred Interest offer provides you an option to avoid paying interest if the terms of the promotion are met.
