Any time you make a payment on your loan, it reduces what you owe in the long run. So even if you don't have a payment due right now, making a payment is always a good idea. And if you're in repayment, making on-time payments will help you build a solid credit history and stay on the path to successfully paying off your loan.

There are lots of ways you can quickly and easily make your payments—find the method that works best for you!

Sign up for Auto Pay

The fastest and easiest way to have your payment applied is to sign up for Auto Pay, a service that automatically withdraws your student loan payment from your checking or savings account on a specific date.

Auto Pay is easy to use, it's free, and you can sign up for it even if you're not in repayment. If you are in repayment and you have a Direct loan, you can receive an interest rate reduction of 0.25%, reducing the total amount you pay over time. Contact us for more details.

Make a One-time Payment Online

If you like to make electronic payments, but prefer to make them yourself each month, you can easily do that in a few simple steps using Pay Online. You can also view your payment history and save the bank accounts that you use most often so you can use them the next time you make a payment. Making a payment online is quick and easy—saving you time and money because you don't have to write a check and mail it to us.
