PAYMENT OPTIONS

Loan and credit card payments are now easier than ever

SchoolsFirst FCU Members have access to an easy and secure way to make one-time or recurring payments through Online and Mobile Banking. You can set up loan or credit card payments from your SchoolsFirst FCU account or an external account to help you:

Save time — no need to call in and wait to make a payment.
Control your payments — send a payment immediately, or schedule, modify or cancel payments with a few clicks.
Set it and forget it — recurring payments allow you to schedule payments to automatically send each month.
