Frequently Asked Questions
How do biweekly payments save money?
Making half your monthly payment every two weeks results in 26 half-payments per year (13 full payments instead of 12). This extra payment goes directly to principal each year, reducing interest.
Is biweekly better than extra monthly payments?
Biweekly is automatic — you do not have to remember to make extra payments. However, making an extra payment manually each year achieves the same result. Choose whichever fits your budget.
Do all lenders offer biweekly plans?
Many lenders offer biweekly auto-draft programs, often with a small fee. You can also DIY biweekly by simply dividing your payment in half and sending it every two weeks yourself.
