If you pay extra on your loan; it may go to the principal. If you pay more than your fixed monthly payment, the remaining funds will first be applied to any accrued interest from fees (if applicable), then to your principal loan balance. This can reduce the total number of monthly payments you'll have to make and can reduce your next monthly payment amount.
Keep in mind, paying ahead means you are paying in advance, so depending upon how much additional you pay, it may push your due date forward by however many monthly payments you cover.
If you are enrolled in automatic payments, making additional payments will not reduce the amount of your next monthly payment, but can reduce the total number of monthly payments you’ll have to make. Your automatic payments will continue to be withdrawn on your scheduled monthly due date at the fixed amount agreed to in your loan agreement.
Please keep in mind that returned payments may result in the cancellation of your automatic payments.
Please note:
- Same-day debit card payments cannot be cancelled or refunded.
