Congrats on your new loan!

Setting Up Loan Payment:

First you will need to add the External Account (see directions below). Once the External Account is established within Online/Mobile you have a few options:

• Manually transfer the payment amount from your External Account to your SFCU Savings or Checking. Once funds are available in your SFCU account, make a payment transfer.
• Setup a Recurring Deposit from the External Account to your SFCU Savings or Checking Account.

1. Select the SFCU destination account from the To Account dropdown menu with the External Account being the From Account.
2. Select the Amount you want to transfer.
3. Select Frequency of the transfer. Options include, but are not limited to: Monthly, Semi-Monthly (1st & 15th), Weekly, Biweekly, End of Month, Every 4 Weeks, etc.
4. Choose the Date (or Start Date) you want the transfer to take place.
5. Select the Series Ends Date (or number of occurrences) of the recurring transfer. If no end date is selected, the funds will continue to transfer until you cancel.

• Once the Recurring Deposit is established, you may contact us to have us set-up an automatic transfer from the account receiving the recurring transfer funds. Please note that you will want to allow for the 3 business days an external transfer will take to completely process. (i.e. if your payment is due on the 1oth of each month, you will want to have scheduled the external transfer at least 3 business days prior to the payment due date).
• Want to set-up the payment as a recurring transfer and be in complete control of the transfers? Simply repeat the process above to establish a recurring transfer from your SFCU Account to your SFCU Loan.

Note: You can see all recurring transfers that you establish on the Scheduled tab.
