How this works

Once enrolled, you'll receive a text message with the amount of your next loan payment and the day it's due. You can then review your payment details and options.

When you verify your account the first time, you will be prompted to set up the following:

• 4-digit PIN: Once you have entered your account number and date of birth, it will prompt you to create a 4-digit PIN. You will need this to verify future payments.
• Preferred method of payment: To make a payment, add your preferred form of payment in the portal. You can do this by selecting ADD NEW DEBIT CARD or ADD NEW BANK ACCOUNT which will prompt a secure website for you to input your information. If done correctly, there will be a message stating "Payment Method Success" and you will be redirected to the payment portal.

Once your account has been successfully verified, you will be directed to the payment portal where you’ll be able to see all of your HBCU loans and will also be able to modify your preferred payment method for each loan.

Thereafter, when 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 completed you should receive a confirmation text.

Maximum payment amounts

You can make loan payments of up to $650 using a debit card. For loan payments of $651 up to $2,500, you can use ACH to make a payment directly from a bank account.
