Online Loan Payment Portal
If you don't use Online or Mobile Banking, making a loan payment on your American First loan has never been easier. With this service, you can use any savings or checking account to pay your loan online.
Online loan payments are free for registered users! If you would like to pay as a guest (no registration required), there is a $5 convenience fee for each payment. You may also call 800-290-1112 to make a payment by phone.
Please note: All mortgage payments, including payoffs must be received by 1:00 PM PT on Wednesday, December 31, 2025 to be credited same day. Payments and payoffs received after the cut off will be credited on our next business day, January 2, 2026. No exceptions can be made due to year end processing.
