Make free, scheduled automatic payments with our automatic mortgage payment options 

With our free automatic mortgage payment options, you have the opportunity to schedule automatic, electronic withdrawals that can be timed to your payday cycle:

• Monthly 
• Twice a month (1/2 total payment) 
• Every two weeks (1/2 total payment) 
• Weekly (1/4 total payment)

Payments made weekly, every two weeks, and twice a month are treated as partial payments and may not be applied to your mortgage until full payment is received. A partial payment is anything less than the amount due on your billing statement.

However, if you schedule withdrawals weekly or every two weeks, we will reduce your principal loan balance two to four times per year by applying your partial payment. Twice-a-month withdrawals will not reduce your principal loan balance.

Call us at 1-800-357-6675 or you can enroll on the Make Payment screen in Wells Fargo Online^®.

Continue to make automatic payments

Please refer to your welcome letter to understand how your automatic payments may be affected:

• If your payment was withdrawn electronically by your prior mortgage company before the transfer date shown on the letter, they will apply the payment to your loan. 
• If Wells Fargo Home Mortgage transfers your electronic payment process, we will begin to electronically withdraw and apply your payments on or after the transfer date. 
• No electronic withdrawals will occur before their regularly scheduled dates. 
• If we do not transfer your electronic payment process, we’ve included a payment coupon in your welcome letter to make your next payment to us. We will send you monthly billing statements, including payment coupons for you to use. Please refer to your welcome letter for more details.

We collect funds in an escrow account to pay:

• Real estate taxes
• Premiums for insurance required to protect the property, such as homeowners insurance and flood insurance
  

We do not collect funds in an escrow account to pay:

• Interim tax bills
• Homeowners association fees
• Premiums for non-required insurance policies, such as separate personal property insurance
• Special or added tax assessments
• Other fees that are not included in your real estate tax bill
• Supplemental tax bills, except in California

Your prior mortgage company will contact your homeowners or flood insurance company requesting the company to issue an endorsement to your policy reflecting the change in servicer to Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. Your prior mortgage company should also ask your homeowners or flood insurance company to send all future notifications to Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. To ensure your insurance company notifies Wells Fargo of future renewals or premiums, which need to be paid from your escrow account, you need to contact the company or notify your agent of the change.

Most of the time, your optional services products will transfer with your mortgage account. However, there are occasions when they don’t. If one or more of your optional services does not transfer with your mortgage, you will be notified and provided options for continued coverage. You may notice a change to your monthly payment indicating the premiums are no longer being collected for any products not transferred.

For additional escrow account information, you can:

• Access your account online. 4 to 7 business days after your transfer date, you can sign on to your mortgage account to check your escrow mortgage account balance and see when tax and insurance payments are made from the account. Your account information is typically available 4 to 7 business days after your transfer date. Note: You will first need to enroll in Wells Fargo Online^®. Please refer to your welcome letter to see when your account information will be available online.
• Check your Escrow Account Disclosure Statement. We review your escrow account at least once a year, and we’ll send you an Escrow Account Disclosure Statement by mail after each review. The statement will reflect any changes to the escrow amount included in your mortgage payment. (The Escrow Account Disclosure Statement is not currently available online).

Find answers to commonly-asked questions about escrow accounts.

We will send you a year-end IRS 1098 statement showing the amount of reportable mortgage interest, mortgage insurance paid (if applicable), and any real estate taxes we paid on your behalf.
