We are a direct lender and we always retain the servicing of your mortgage. You will always make your payment to the Credit Union and if you have any questions, a Credit Union representative will assist you.

Mortgage payment details can be found on your monthly mortgage statement and in Digital Banking. 

The Credit Union has multiple payment options available for you:

Automatic recurring payments: You can set up a recurring payment to your mortgage through Digital Banking. Choose “Internal Transfers” from the left menu and select “Transfer Money”. Then, complete the payment fields and select “Monthly” for the frequency.

One time transfer of funds: You can make a transfer from your Credit Union account to your mortgage through Digital Banking. Choose “Internal Transfers” from the left menu and select “Transfer Money”. Then, complete the fields to submit the transfer.

Payments from another financial institution: Payments can be sent from another financial institution and applied directly to your mortgage loan.

Mail: Payments can be mailed in using the coupon attached to the monthly mortgage statement.

In-person: Payments can be made at any of our branches. 

Over the phone: Payments can be made over the phone by calling our Contact Center at 301.779.8500 during normal business hours.

No, we do not accept partial payments, however, alternative savings and payment structures can be set up to help you budget based on your unique pay schedule. A separate savings account can be opened to deposit sufficient funds for the monthly mortgage payment. This will help you keep the funds for the mortgage payment set aside to ensure they are available when the monthly payment is due.

First mortgage payments are always due on the first of each month. Payments received after that date are considered past due but a late fee is not assessed until after the 15th of the month. To ensure payments coming from another financial institution are received in a timely manner, we recommend having the funds available and sending the payment no later than the 10th of the month to avoid any delays that many occur in the availability and posting of the payment.

There is a 15 day grace period for loan payments.

Any additional amount over the scheduled payment amount will automatically be applied to the principal.  

A 1098 form is sent to members with mortgage accounts that had $600.00 or more of interest paid during the year. Additionally, the monthly mortgage statement reflects how much interest has been paid in the current year.

A monthly mortgage statement is generated each month separately. This statement is specific to your mortgage loan only.

Your payment may fluctuate if there have been changes to your property tax amount or homeowner’s insurance premiums. Each month, a portion of your mortgage payment is set aside in your escrow account to make sure funds are available for the payment of your property taxes and homeowner’s insurance when these payments are due. 

If you are in any jurisdiction other than the state of Maryland, please email the bill to [email protected].

Email a copy of the new policy along with any invoice for the premium due to [email protected]. If you are receiving a refund from the cancelled policy, it is suggested to deposit the refund into your escrow account to limit shortages in your escrow account.

We are here to help. If you have more questions please call us at 301.779.8500 ext. 5401 or send an email to [email protected].
