Online payments may take 24 – 48 hours to be deducted from your account, but will post to your mortgage same day. Please allow 24 hours for your payment to be visible on your mortgage account.

Phone payments may take up to 48 hours to deduct from your account, but will be posted to your mortgage same day. Please allow 24 hours for your payment to be visible on your mortgage account.

Automatic payments will be deducted from your account on the designated deduction date. Please allow 24 hours for your payment to be visible on your mortgage account.

By Mail

Account payments will be credited to your account on the day received, not the postmarked date. Payments must be:

  • Made in United States Funds by check (please include account number) or money order paid to M&T Bank 
  • Accompanied by an account payment stub (remittance coupon)
  • Received at our address indicated on the payment stub by 5pm on any day, Monday through Friday that is not a legal holiday

Payments are not accepted at M&T mortgage origination offices.

 

At a Branch

Account payments made at an M&T Branch must be:

  • Made in United States Funds in cash, by check or money order made out to M&T Bank
  • Received by the business day cutoff for that specific location, in order to be credited to your account on the date received
  • Payments received after the cutoff for that specific location, may be processed the following business day.

M&T does not accept partial payments, but we do offer a flexible payment plan that allows you to select a payment frequency (weekly, bi-weekly or semi-monthly) that matches your schedule. The payments will be automatically deducted from your designated checking or savings account.

Enroll in the Flexible Mortgage Payment Plan

Please note: Enrolling in the Flexible Payment Plan does not change the principal and interest payment arrangement specified in your mortgage loan documents. The deducted funds will be applied to your mortgage when sufficient funds have accumulated to make a full monthly payment, as outlined in your mortgage promissory note.

While you’re unable to make a mortgage payment using a credit card or debit card, you can set up automatic deductions from your checking/savings account each month to pay your mortgage. You may also make an online payment using M&T Online Banking.

Based on your loan documents, your monthly mortgage payment may be made up of the following:

  • Principal
  • Interest
  • Taxes
  • Insurance

Payments on fixed rate mortgages typically do not change unless you have an escrow account with annual taxes and homeowner’s insurance included in your monthly payments. As your annual property tax and insurance costs change, the amount needed to cover these costs in your monthly payment is impacted. If these costs increase, you can opt to either have your future payments adjusted to cover the difference or pay the difference in full to maintain the lowest possible payment.

Depending on your mortgage program, monthly payments may change. This most commonly occurs with adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs). After the initial fixed-rate term comes to a close, the interest rate can change up or down depending on market conditions – meaning your monthly payment may rise or fall.

If you’re enrolled in automatic deductions (monthly or the Flexible Payment Program), the new payment amount will automatically be deducted from your account.

If you have additional funds being deducted to reduce your principal, the additional amount will remain the same as initially set up. If you wish to change this amount and you are enrolled in monthly automatic deduction, you can do so using M&T Online Banking or by contacting us. If you are enrolled in our flexible drafting program, please visit mtb.com/achenroll to make any update to the additional principal amount. Changes must be made no later than 5 business days before the scheduled draft date for both monthly and flex drafting programs. 

**If you did not enroll in ACH, but your payments are automatically deducted from your account using your bank’s online bill pay system, you’ll need to modify the monthly payment amount.**

Yes! When you make your regular monthly mortgage payment, you can include an additional amount to be applied directly to your principal. Additional principal payments will only be applied after the current month's full payment has posted to your account.

If you’re paying by check, please indicate by writing the amount of the extra principal payment on your Mortgage Account Statement coupon where designated and on the memo of the check.

When you make your payment using M&T Online Banking, you can elect to include additional principal along with your payment.

Recoverable Corporate Advance (RCA) F A Qs

You can make a payment toward the outstanding recoverable corporate advance at any time.

If you are making your monthly mortgage payment by phone, please let our representative know how much you would like applied to the recoverable corporate advance balance.

If you mail in your monthly mortgage payment, please indicate in a letter and on the note section of the check or money order how much you would like applied to the outstanding recoverable corporate advance balance.
