Does Global Credit Union charge any fees that might appear through PayPal?

Most Global Credit Union account and loan fees (such as late payment fees or certain service fees) will post directly to your account, but if you pay those fees using PayPal or a PayPal-linked card, the descriptor may include “PP*GLOBAL CREDIT UNION.” Review your loan or account disclosures for specific fee schedules.
