Admin Portal: How to Change a Borrower’s Primary Payment Method

Audience: Servicing Agents, Support Teams, Administrators Topic: Account Management & Auto-Pay Configuration

Overview

You may need to update a borrower's payment preference if they report a lost card, switch banks, or wish to change which account is charged for their recurring payments.

The Primary Payment Method is the default instrument the system uses for all scheduled Auto-Pay transactions. Updating this setting ensures that future payments are drawn from the correct account, reducing the risk of failed payments or overdraft fees.
