Online Mortgage Payment
- Function. You may make non-recurring mortgage payments online through the Website. You also may enroll for recurring monthly payments (Sure-Pay or Autopay) online through the Website.

Upon such a request, we will initiate an electronic transfer via the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system from your bank account in the amount that you specify. You agree that such requests constitute your authorization for such transfers. There is a $2.00 fee per ACH draft on Bi-weekly auto payments. The fee will be disclosed when you setup Autopay Bi-weekly payments.
- Account. Each time you make a mortgage payment you must designate the account from which we are to make the payment. The payment account must be a checking account or savings account. No transfers may be made from an account that requires two or more signatures.
- Posting. All transfers completed before the transfer cut-off time on a Business Day will be posted to your account the same Business Day. All transfers completed after the transfer cut-off time to your account will be posted on the next Business Day. The transfer cut-off time is 5:00 p.m. Central Time.
