Home Loan Payment Help

We’re here to help and have created the following frequently asked questions in an effort to provide as much information and clarity for our members as possible.

How can I find my first mortgage loan account number?
Log into your online banking and find your first mortgage loan from the Accounts tab, the number sequence next to the loan on this page is NOT your account number of record. Click on your first mortgage loan and press “continue” on the pop up. Click the “eStatement” tab in the menu across the top of the page. Click on your most recent eStatement. It will open in a new window. In the top right-hand corner, you will see “Account Number.” This is the account number for your mortgage loan. See a step by step guide (PDF) on how to find your mortgage loan number.

Do I need to cancel may automated payment for my first mortgage to take advantage of the payment deferment offer?
The deferment is specific to your loan payment due date only. It will not automatically stop any automated payments. If you do not want to send a payment when no payment is due, you will need to login and cancel your automated payments.

How do I cancel the automatic payment for my mortgage?
If you set up auto-pay in our online mortgage portal, login to your online banking and go to your mortgage account to cancel. If you set up auto-pay over the phone, you will need to call (877) 210-8647 to cancel.
Please note: It can take up to 14 days to cancel recurring automatic payments.
