Twice monthly loan payments: who qualifies and how to enroll

Overview

If you prefer to split your monthly loan payment into two smaller installments, you may be eligible for twice-monthly AutoPay payments. This guide explains eligibility requirements and how to enroll.

Who Qualifies for Twice Monthly Payments?

  • Your account must be current (no past-due payments).
  • You must schedule the twice-monthly AutoPay at least 16 days before your next due date.
  • Payments must be scheduled at least 5 days apart but no more than 30 days apart.
