What is auto-pay? Can I turn it off?
Auto-Pay Is Enabled by Default for Eligible Loans During Loan Application
For eligible loans, auto-pay is enabled by default during the application process. On the loan acceptance screen, you'll see the auto-pay option already selected.
Why auto-pay is enabled by default
Auto-pay helps borrowers stay current on payments and reduces the risk of missed payments or late fees.
Don't want auto-pay?
You can simply uncheck the auto-pay option before submitting your application.
If you decide later that you'd like to use auto-pay, you can enable it anytime through your customer portal.
Changing auto-pay later
Auto-pay can be turned on or off at any time from your customer portal. You'll find the setting within your loan details or payment preferences.
Auto-pay and payment plans
If you set up an installment payment plan on your loan, auto-pay is automatically paused for that loan while the payment plan is active. During this time, the auto-pay charge option is disabled to ensure you aren't charged twice for the same balance.
Once the payment plan is completed or ends, you can manage your auto-pay settings through your customer portal if needed.
Auto-pay and payoff invoices
When auto-pay is enabled, you won't receive a separate payoff invoice asking you to pay off your loan manually because your automatic payment covers the balance.
If you later turn off auto-pay, your payoff invoice will be sent automatically as part of the standard loan servicing process.
FAQ
Which payment method does auto-pay use?
Auto-pay uses the debit card you provided during loan setup. You can update your payment method at any time.
What happens if an auto-pay payment fails?
You'll receive a notification if a payment cannot be processed. The missed payment will then follow the normal overdue process. Updating your payment method promptly can help prevent additional failed payments.
