If you are paying with funds from your credit union savings or checking account, simply make a transfer to your loan account within digital banking.
If you want to pay your loan from an external account at another financial institution, there are several options available:
- Link your external account in digital banking to allow transfers between your bank/credit union share accounts. After you have verified your external account by confirming the amount of the two trial deposits sent to your external account (this takes 2-3 business days to deposit), you will be ready to transfer money. Please note: External account transfers to a Visa take 3-4 business days to process.
- Use the bill pay or funds transfer service offered by your other financial institution to send your payment.
- Make a payment through the External Loan Payments widget in digital banking (a fee does apply).
- Make a payment in-person at any of our branches or a shared branch location.
- If you would like to set up recurring monthly payments from an external bank account, we can do this for you.
Rewards are awarded on transactions occurring and balances maintained during the calendar month in which the Reward is earned. Depending on the Reward type, the Reward may be awarded at the time of transaction (such as free money orders and official checks), overnight following the date of the transaction (as with overdraft transfer fee reimbursement) or within five business days of the month following thereafter (as in the case of quarterly refund of loan interest paid). Fee reimbursements, rebates and the quarterly refund of loan interest paid are posted to your account and are reflected on your account statement.

Please note: Our bill pay cutoff time is 2 PM EST. If your payment is scheduled after 2 PM EST, it will go out the following business day. Also, if the payment is scheduled on a Friday, the payment will not be sent out until the following business day.

When transactions post to your accounts, they can be categorized to give you a better idea of how much money you are spending in certain areas. For example, if you would like to know how much you are spending on transportation, you can categorize transactions using the Auto & Transport category. Under this category, there are more specific selections to choose from; such as, Gas & Fuel, Parking, Services & Parts, and Tires.
Locate the transaction that you would like to categorize and select the “Add a category” button underneath it. From the list of categories, you can choose the one that is most appropriate from the drop-down menu. You can also split the transaction in to multiple categories if more than one applies.
