Frequently Asked Questions

How do Budget Easy Pay (bi-weekly) payments differ from a regular payment?

With bi-weekly payments, you'll split your monthly payment into bi-weekly half-payments due on the weekday of your choosing. After we receive the second half-payment, we'll apply the full amount collected to your monthly mortgage balance due. With this plan, you'll have 26 half-payments during the year. Two of those payments will be applied toward your loan's principal, which will help you pay off your loan faster and save on interest. 

 


What is a recurring extra payment?

A recurring extra payment is when you pay extra toward the principal on your mortgage every month. Paying extra toward your principal can be a great way to shorten the length of your loan and help you save on interest. 

 


What is a principal-only payment?

A principal-only payment is an extra one-time payment applied directly to your mortgage loan principal amount. If you choose to make a principal-only payment, you could save on interest and pay off your mortgage early.
