FAQs

What is Webster First’s routing number?

Webster First’s routing number is 211386597.

What is my member number? Is it different from my account number?

Your member number is the number all your related accounts are bundled under. Many Webster First members have a checking, savings, and investment account all associated with the same member number. Your member number is listed on the top of your printed statements or eStatements. (Please note, your statement may list “Account Number” in the top left, as shown below.)

 

Under your member number, each individual account will have its own account or MICR number. In most cases, each account number contains your member number. Your account number can be obtained from your checks, online banking, or the mobile app.

To find an account number in online banking, click on the desired account, and then click “Account Details:”

 

To find an account number in our app, tap on the desired account, then tap “Details:”

How can I make a loan payment?

You can make payments to your consumer loan by dropping off the funds in a branch, mailing in a check, making a transfer in online/mobile banking, or using the Payment Portal.*

Only the primary account holder can transfer funds to the loan online. On your home screen in online/mobile banking, click Move money, then “(Transfer) between my Webster First accounts.”

If mailing a check, include your account number in the memo line. Mail to:

Webster First Federal Credit Union
PO Box 70505

*Payment Portal can be used by members who do not elect to sign up for an online banking account. We recommend you use online/mobile banking to make your payment if you have an account set up.

How do I make a payment from an external account?

If you would like to transfer a payment from an account at another financial institution, there are a few ways you can do it. In your online banking toolbar at the top of the screen, click on Payments > Pay my loan from another account. In your mobile banking toolbar at the bottom of the screen, click on Payments > Pay loan from another account. Use the Payment Portal only if you do not have an online banking account.

You can also schedule a one-time ACH transfer by contacting our Call Center at (800) 962-4452. They will have you sign an ACH Authorization form.

How do I set up recurring payments?

You can set up a recurring payment a few different ways. To set up a recurring payment from a WFFCU account, use your online banking account and click “Move money” > “Transfer between Webster First accounts.” Type in your desired date and amount to be transferred then check the box that says “Repeat transfer.”

To set up a recurring payment from an outside account, you can use either online banking (recommended) or Payment Portal . In online banking, click “Payments” > “Pay loan from another account.” Then choose your accounts and select the frequency for the transfer. In Payment Portal, sign in to make your payment as you normally would and select the payment frequency there.

The last way is by contacting our Call Center at (800) 962-4452, and signing an ACH Authorization form with your account information. You can choose the amount and which day of the month you would like the payment to be pulled.

What if I lose my loan payment coupons? How can I get more?

Do you offer refinancing on loans from other institutions?

Yes! We offer refinancing on all types of consumer loans you have with another lender.

What will my payment be?

Your monthly payment amount will depend upon the amount of your loan, the exact interest rate you qualify for, and the term length of the loan. Use our handy Auto Loan Payment Calculator to estimate your payment based on those terms.

What time of the month are payments due? Can I pick a time?

Generally, your first payment will be due 30 days after your loan is disbursed. Your payments will always be due on the same day of each month. If you would like to have your payments due on a particular day of the month, please inform your loan originator so he/she can attempt to schedule that for you. We cannot guarantee that your payment due date will be exactly what you request, but we will work with you to try and make that happen.

Can someone else come into a branch and make a payment for me?

Yes, someone else can make a payment on your behalf. They can pay with cash, a check, or as a transfer out of their Webster First account.

Are there penalties if I want to pay extra or pay off my loan early?

There are no pre-payment penalties for any Webster First consumer loans. You can pay extra or pay off your loan early with no penalties.

How do I pay off my loan?

Contact our member service center at (800) 962-4452 for a payoff quote. Let them know the date you would like to pay off, as daily interest earned can change the amount. Funds can then be sent via check, wire, or internal transfer.

How do you report late payments?

You have a grace period from your due date to make a payment before a late fee is assessed. Refer to your note to see what that period is for you. We report late payments to the credit bureaus on the 5th of each month.

What do I do in the event of a borrower’s death?

If a borrower on a consumer loan has passed away, contact the consumer loan department at (800) 962-4452 Ext 4098 to let them know and forward them the death certificate for the file. If there is a co-signer on the loan, they will still be obligated to make the payments. If there is no co-signer, next steps will vary based on what the deceased had planned to pay off the remaining balance on the loan (death clause, terms in their will, a trust, life insurance policy, etc.).

I received a letter requesting a current copy of my insurance. Why did I receive this letter and what do I do next?

As part of your loan obligation, you are required to maintain physical damage insurance for the full term of your loan. Please visit MyInsuranceInfo.com to enter and verify your insurance information so that we may update your records.

I received a check for an insurance claim on my car with Webster First’s name on it. What do I do now?

If you have a lien on your car and an insurance company pays you for damages (such as a car accident, tree falling on it, etc.) the check will be made out to both you and the lien holder (WFFCU). Please bring your check into any of our branches along with your completed work order form and a loan officer will be able to endorse the back of the check for you.
