Payments

When are my payments due?
Your payment due date was established when you originated your loan and is stated in your contract. Due dates vary, so it’s a good idea to look at your note to see which day your payment is due.

Is it possible to change my current due date?
A change to the due date can only be done once during the life of the loan. The loan must be in current standing before changes can be made and a one-time charge for the interest accrual from your current due date to the new due date will be collected.

To request a change, First National Bank of America must receive a written request including the desired payment date and your account number. Please CLICK HERE

Will you accept less than the total amount due?
Generally it is not our policy to accept partial payments without prior arrangements. Rather than making a partial payment, please call (800) 642-4578 to speak to a representative. We may have a program available to you that will permit a period of delay or forbearance.

What is the “grace period”?
Your payment is considered past due if not received by the due date. However, most notes provide a period of time after the due date for payments to be received before a late charge is assessed. Grace periods and late fees will only be charged according to the terms of your note. To avoid the risk of damage to your credit or the assessment of a late charge, it is recommended that every effort be made to ensure your payment is received by the due date. Payments on or before the due date will assure that the loan will properly amortize as we collect all unpaid accrued interest before the loan principal is reduced.  Paying during the grace period means more interest will be paid and the principal reduction will be less.

How much time should I allow for my payment to reach First National Bank of America?
If you are sending your payment by mail, please allow 7-10 days for receipt of payment, particularly during holidays when mail volumes are heavy. If you don’t feel your payment will reach our office in time, please call (800) 642-4578 to ask about other more immediate payment options.

To avoid late payments, First National Bank of America offers an Automatic Payment option that will make your payment through a withdrawal from the bank account of your choice on your scheduled due date. Contact our customer service department for more information.
