Yes, we offer an array of options for making your mortgage payment online.

It's easy to make a mortgage payment using PNC Online Banking and there is no fee. Pay your mortgage from a PNC or non PNC Checking or Savings account by clicking Make a Payment from your account activity page. Make a one time payment for today or pay later with a future dated or recurring monthly payment.

You can automate your monthly mortgage payments and avoid writing checks and paying for postage each month. To authorize an automated payment, complete the online form and follow the mailing or fax instructions. Once you get set up, your mortgage payment is automatically paid each month on the same day.

Most mortgage loans are due on the 1st of each month.

You may refer to your loan closing documentation, first payment letter, or mortgage statement to confirm your payment date.

 

It is a good idea to allow 7 to 10 days for receipt of payment, particularly during holidays when mail volumes are heavy.

 

PNC has different grace periods, but the majority of loans are assessed a late charge on the night of the 16th. Late fees vary in accordance with the mortgage note.

 

No. Your monthly payment must be drafted from a checking or savings account, or mailed to us.

 

Rather than making a partial payment, please call 1-800-523-8654 to speak to a Customer Service Representative about your options. We may have a program available to you that permits a period of forbearance.

 

Some loans qualify for a Principal Reduction Modification. PNC Mortgage will allow you to pay a minimum of $10,000 towards your principal and re-amortize your loan, which will reduce your monthly principal and interest payment. To find out if this option is available to you, please call one of our Customer Service Representatives at 1-800-822-5626, or mail your request to:

PNC Mortgage
P.O. Box 1820
Dayton, OH  45401-8807

Amortization is the schedule for repayment of the loan. At inception, the amortization, or schedule, is set. Re-amortization is when at some point during the repayment, the schedule of payments is changed.

 

The funds will be applied to principal as long as you write "Principal Only" on the memo line of the check along with your loan number. You will need to send the check to the address on your payment billing statement. Note that we will not be able to process the principal payment if your current month’s payment has not been received, your loan is delinquent, or if you have outstanding late fees.

The 13th payment, or "extra" payment, will automatically be applied to your principal balance, reducing the total interest you will pay on your mortgage over the life of the loan. The first half payment drafted each month will be held in a non-interest bearing account, and will be applied to your mortgage once a full monthly payment is received.

Principal Reduction Options 

You may be eligible for a Modification – find out today.

If applicable, a Principal Reduction Modification can be executed within 12 months from the time a borrower applies a lump sum of $10,000 or more to the principal balance of their loan. The interest rate and term of the loan will remain the same.

The loan is re-amortized or 'recast' based on the lower balance. The loan must have investor approval before this transaction can be completed. Most private investors will not allow a modification to the loan.

To find out if your loan is eligible, call us at 1-800-822-5626 and ask for our Special Loans Department. Please note, your loan must be at least 6 months old to be considered for a Modification.

 

A letter of request must be submitted stating that you would like to have your monthly payment re-amortized. The letter and the fee should be mailed to: 

PNC Mortgage
Attn: Special Loans/Modifications
P.O. Box 1820
Dayton OH 45401-1820

The lump sum principal payment is usually included, but can be made at any PNC Bank, if preferred. Once the principal balance has been reduced, a Loan Modification Agreement is prepared and sent to you for your signature. Once we receive the signed document, we update our database with your new payment amount.

The standard fee for a Principal Reduction Modification is $250, which is subject to change. The fee must be submitted up front, and is non-refundable.

To find out if your loan is eligible for a Principal Reduction Modification, call us via 800-822-5626 and ask for our Special Loans Department. Please note, your loan must be at least 6 months old before being considered for a Modification.

There is a six to eight week processing time before the new payment becomes effective. However, you will have the benefit of paying less interest immediately, so any payments made after the principal has been reduced and before the new payment amount becomes effective are applied to the principal balance of your loan.

Additional Questions

A few more answers to common payment option questions you may have.

If you signed the Note and Mortgage, you are still liable for the payments. A divorce agreement does not alter your obligation to make payments.

 

No. Deeding your interest in the property to someone else only means that you no longer own the home. You are still obligated to make payments, as stated in your Note and Mortgage.
