Payments can be made monthly, and they often include principal, interest, and possibly property taxes and homeowners insurance. It's important to know exactly what components are included in your total monthly payment.
Creating an Online Account
To make a payment online, you first need to create an account on the Rocket Mortgage website. Here's how to do it: Go to the Rocket Mortgage homepage, click on 'Login' at the top right corner, and then select 'Register.' Fill out your personal information, including your loan number and email address, and follow the prompts to set up your account. Once your account is created, you will have access to your mortgage details and the option to make payments online.
Payment Options Available
Rocket Mortgage offers several ways to make payments: 1. **Online Payment**: As mentioned, you can log in to your account and make a payment directly. 2. **Mobile App**: If you prefer using your smartphone, download the Rocket Mortgage app, log in, and follow the prompts to make a payment. 3. **Phone Payment**: You can also call Rocket Mortgage customer service to make a payment over the phone. Keep your loan number and bank information handy. 4. **Mail Payment**: If you prefer traditional methods, you can send a check to Rocket Mortgage. Make sure to include your loan number on the check to ensure proper application of payment.
Making an Online Payment
To make a payment online, follow these steps: 1. Log in to your Rocket Mortgage account. 2. Access the 'Payments' section from the dashboard. 3. Choose the ‘Make a Payment’ option. 4. Enter the amount you want to pay. 5. Select a payment method (bank transfer or credit card). 6. Review your payment details and confirm the transaction. 7. You should receive an email confirmation shortly after completing your payment.
Setting Up Automatic Payments
For added convenience, you have the option to set up automatic payments. To do this, log into your account, navigate to the payments section, and select ‘Automatic Payments’ from the menu. Choose the date each month that you want payments to be withdrawn from your bank account, and confirm your settings. This ensures that your payments are made on time every month, reducing the risk of missing a payment.
Understanding Payment Processing Times
It's important to understand how long it will take for Rocket Mortgage to process your payment. Online and mobile payments are typically processed on the same day if made before 5 PM ET. Payments made after this time may be processed the next business day. Mail payments can take several days to be received and processed, so it's best to make these payments well in advance of the due date.
