**A $20 Non-Refundable Fee will be assessed even if the loan is denied. Please verify your account balance in GTE Online or Mobile banking to ensure you have enough funds to cover the $20 non-refundable application fee.  In addition, you acknowledge that if the deposit account from which you have authorized GTE to debit the $20 Non-Refundable Application Fee contains insufficient funds to pay the fee, the debit may cause that account to be overdrawn or increase the amount by which is it overdrawn.
