Description
Allows you to schedule automatic withdrawals timed to match your paycheck cycle.
Benefits
- Simplifies budgeting by paying your mortgage automatically
- Conveniently enables you to split payments among four different accounts
- Potentially pay off principal faster if weekly or every other week payments are made
- May reduce the total interest paid over the life of your mortgage loan
How it works
Your mortgage payment withdrawals can be set up to match these available payday cycles:
- Monthly
- Twice a month (1/2 total payment)
- Every other week (1/2 total payment)
- Weekly (1/4 total payment)
If you make your payments monthly or twice a month, you’ll make 12 payments in a year. However, if you make payments weekly or every other week, you’ll make 52 or 13 payments in a year, which can help pay down your mortgage faster.
If you choose the weekly or every-other-week option, withdrawals in addition to the amount needed to cover your monthly mortgage payments will occur 2 to 5 times per year. This can help you pay off your mortgage faster, because once your mortgage is paid ahead by one month, any extra withdrawals will go directly to your principal balance. Twice a month withdrawals do not create additional partial payments that can be applied to reducing your principal loan balance.
