By clicking on the secure link within the text message, you will be able to set up MessagePay and review your loan payment options.

Can I make a payment on my loans through my online and mobile banking account?

Yes! Log in to your online and mobile account using your smartphone, tablet or desktop and select ‘Make a Payment’ from our menu bar located at the top left. This will take you to the payment portal where you will verify your account.

If I opt out of receiving text messages will I still be able to pay my loans online?

Yes, you will have access to the payment portal through our website or online and mobile banking.

However, you will not receive any text notifications regarding payment reminders and will not be able to make a payment via text message.

How can I pay my account via text message?

Once you receive a text reminder, you respond “Pay” to the same text. You will be asked to enter your PIN to verify your account, once you have completed this process your payment will be complete.

NOTE: You will have to set up a 4 digit PIN and preferred method of payment prior to using text payments. You may not pay using a credit card. If you attempt to pay with a credit card then you will receive the below message.
