Please note: Zelle does not currently support debit cards linked to accounts based in a U.S. Territory. U.S. Territories include American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Zelle is intended for sending money to family, friends, and others you know and trust. We recommend that you not use Zelle to send money to anyone you don't know.

  3. Enter the amount you want to send. Carefully review the details of your payment before you send it.  You cannot cancel a sent transaction unless the recipient is not yet enrolled in Zelle. 
  4. Once the money is sent, you'll receive a confirmation. You can now click Done.
  5. Your recipient will receive an email or text message with the details of your payment and instructions on how to enroll to receive the money if they are not enrolled in Zelle.

I received a bill for my property taxes but I thought this was included in my monthly loan payment?

If your property taxes are escrowed on your loan, you may still receive a statement from the county tax collector, but we will automatically pay this for you each year from your escrow account. Please contact us if you have questions or are not sure if your taxes are escrowed.

I received my monthly billing notice and my payment has increased. Why did it go up?

If your property taxes or your homeowner’s insurance are escrowed on your loan, it is possible that one of those payments increased and your monthly loan payment was adjusted to cover the additional cost. If you have an Adjustable-Rate Loan, it is also possible that your interest rate changed, causing an increase in your payment amount. Feel free to contact us for additional information.

Do you require that I have mortgage insurance on my loan?

If you finance more than 80 percent of the appraised value of your home, mortgage insurance may be required and added to your monthly payment amount.

Is a home inspection required for a new home purchase?

We do not require a home inspection, but you may choose to have an inspection on the property you want to purchase.

Why is the gas station charging me a larger dollar amount than I am pumping?

The gas station does not know how much gas you intend to purchase when you first use your card to pay at the pump. They estimate an amount, and then make an authorization request for this to ensure that you have that much in your account before they let you pump gas. The actual amount on your receipt is what will be debited from your account.

Yes. Please call us at 888-406-2220.
