QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LOAN PAYMENT CENTER

A: The Loan Payment Center is a free and convenient way to make a one-time payment or automatic recurring loan payments to your Personal, Auto, or Home Equity Line or Loan from any checking or savings account. If you would like to pay your home mortgage loan, please visit Mortgage Manager.

A: There are 4 steps:

1. Click “Sign Up” on the top right of the login page.
2. Enter your loan account number and the zip code associated with the loan. Be sure to EXCLUDE any leading zeros when you enter your account number (for example if the account number is 0000234, please enter 234 as your account number) and any numbers following a dash (for example, exclude “-00001”).
3. Create a User ID.
4. Create a password. The new password must have 8-16 characters (case sensitive), at least one letter and one number, no more than seven numbers and no more than two consecutive identical characters. The special characters #, $, and @ are permitted, but not required. The password cannot match the User ID.

Once you are logged in, you can add payment methods and additional First Midwest loan accounts.

A: Due to behind-the-scenes data formatting, sometimes your full name can appear in the “First Name” field. This data issue will not interfere with your ability to make your loan payments. Simply delete any incorrect information during your enrollment, and fill in the “First Name,” “Middle initial” (optional), and “Last Name” fields correctly. If you are already enrolled, you can edit your information under the “Profile” tab.  

A: Click the “Forgot Your Password” link on the log in screen. Confirm your identity by entering your User ID and account number or email address. Answer the “Hint Question” to change your password.

The new password must be between 8 and 16 characters and have at least one letter and one number. The special characters #, $, and @ are permitted, but not required. The password cannot match the User ID.

A: Please call Customer Care at 877-203-6724. Be prepared to provide your account number and answer other identity verification questions. Once your identity is validated, we can confirm your User ID and provide a temporary password. You will be asked to establish a new hint question during your next log in.

A: Click the “Forgot Your User ID” link on the login screen. Confirm your identity by entering your account number and email address. Click “Submit” and your User ID will be sent to the email address on file.

If your account number and email address don’t match in our records, your account number will blank out on the “Forgot User ID” page and you can try again. If you are not able to retrieve your User ID, call First Midwest Support for assistance at 877-203-6724 (Mon-Fri 8 am - 5:30 pm, and Sat 8 am - 1 pm CT).

A: You can typically find your institution’s routing number on their website. You can find your account number on your statement, or when you login to your account online.

If you use checks, your financial institution’s routing number is on the bottom left. Your checking account number is typically to the right of the routing number.

A: Yes. Once logged in, click “Profile” and choose “Methods of Payment” on the menu to add a new checking or savings account or to modify an existing account.

A: You decide whether your payment is processed immediately or on a future date you select.

A: Yes!  Just follow these steps:

1. Once logged in, select “Payments.”
2. Select “Automatic Payments” from the Payments menu.
3. Click “Add Automatic Payment Rule.”
4. Follow the prompts to enter your payment information, payment method, activation date, and payment date.
5. Click “Submit.”

A: In the Loan Payment Center, scheduled or recurring payments are created by adding automatic payment rules.

To stop a single scheduled payment, navigate to the “Payments” tab, select “Payment Activity,” and identify the payment you want to stop. If it is in “Scheduled” status, click the “Cancel” button to stop that particular payment. If the payment is scheduled for today, and it’s before 5PM, please contact us at 877-203-6724 to request the payment cancellation.

To stop or edit a recurring payment schedule, navigate to the “Payments” tab, select “Automatic Payment Rules” and identify the automatic payment rule that you want to stop. Then select “Delete auto pay rule” or “View/update auto pay rule” under the “Actions” column.

A: “Submitted” status indicates that the payment is already in-process electronically (via ACH). It can only be cancelled on the same day before 5pm, by a First Midwest Support representative. Call 877-203-6724 for assistance (Mon-Fri 8 am - 5:30 pm, and Sat 8 am - 1 pm CT).

A: Our Loan Payment Center is a safe way to make payments to your Personal, Auto, or Home Equity Line or Loan. We use SSL and TLS encryption, which ensures that your connection and transmission of your information are secure. We enforce 128-bit encryption security levels for users and require that all users have browsers that are capable of 128-bit encryption or greater.
