How do I sign up for ACH automatic payments?

Symmetry and its lender partners take great pride in helping borrowers maintain a strong credit history. Having the ability to establish ACH automatic payments is a great way to ensure the loan is always paid on time without the hassle of remembering to mail a check.

Borrowers can enroll in ACH automatic payments at loan close or by contacting Cenlar at any time. It is in your client’s best interest to confirm with Cenlar that this has been effectively setup, once initiated. This process can sometimes take a couple of billing cycles to complete. Your clients will still be responsible for making timely payments while waiting for the auto-payments to be established and fully functional with Cenlar.

To confirm functionality, borrowers can contact Cenlar one of the following ways:
