Automatic Mortgage Payment Options

Description

Allows you to schedule automatic withdrawals timed to match your paycheck cycle.

Manage your money with payment options

  • Simplifies budgeting by paying your mortgage automatically
  • Conveniently enables you to split payments among four different accounts
  • May reduce the total interest paid over the life of your mortgage loan
  • Potentially pay off principal faster if weekly or every other week payments are made

Dividing your monthly payment into weekly, every other week, or twice a month payments are treated as partial payments and may not be applied to your mortgage until a full monthly payment is received. Consistent weekly or every other week payments will eventually reduce your principal loan balance. However, twice a month withdrawals will not reduce your principal loan balance.

How it works

Your mortgage payment withdrawals can be set up to match these available payday cycles:

  • Monthly
  • Twice a month (1/2 total payment)
  • Every other week (1/2 total payment)
  • Weekly (1/4 total payment)

If you make your payments monthly or twice a month, you’ll make a total of 12 monthly payments in a year. However, if you make payments weekly or every other week, you’ll make a total of 13 monthly payments in a year, which can help pay down your mortgage faster. 

If you choose the weekly or every-other-week option, withdrawals in addition to the amount needed to cover your monthly mortgage payments will occur 2 to 5 times per year. This can help you pay off your mortgage faster, because once your mortgage is paid ahead by one month, any extra withdrawals will go directly to your principal balance. Twice a month withdrawals do not create additional partial payments that can be applied to reducing your principal loan balance.
