What is an authorized payer?

An authorized payer is someone you add to the online payment system (LoanPAY™) to allow them access to make online payments on your account.

If you have a cosigner who wants to make payments, see the previous question; it explains how cosigners can make payments for the loans they cosigned.

  2. Click on the “Loan Info & Make Payments” button.
  3. Click the “Make a Payment” button. 
  4. Click continue to LoanPay.
  5. Once in LoanPAY™, select "Authorize Payers."
  6. On the Authorized Payers screen, click the “Add New" button.
  7. Follow the instructions presented on the screen.
  8. Your authorized payer will be sent an email with their login name, a link to create their password, and a link to the authorized payer login page.
How do I change a password for my authorized payer?
  1. Log in to your MyVSAC account.
  2. Click on the “Loan Info & Make Payments” button.
  3. Click the “Make a Payment” button. 
  4. Click continue to LoanPay.

The LoanPAY™ transaction history shows I made a payment on Tuesday, but in myVSAC it shows as Wednesday. Why are the dates different?

Your transaction history in LoanPAY™ accurately reflects the day you initiated your payment online. Your MyVSAC account will reflect the effective date of the payment, which is the date when the funds are debited from your bank account. This is the next business day if you made the payment before 6:00 pm ET Monday–Friday, or the second business day for payments made Monday–Friday after 6:00 pm, or on a weekend.

I have set up a payment schedule and was recently approved for a deferment. Will my scheduled payments be cancelled or do I need to do this?

Any time your payments change you must adjust your recurring payment schedule accordingly.

Can I use my debit card to make online payments?

No, you'll need to enter the bank routing and bank account number associated with a checking or savings account. You can then save this bank account information in order to complete future payment transactions quickly.

Why can't I see the full bank account number I entered?

Only the last four digits are viewable as a safety measure, similar to why password fields fill in with asterisks.

When will my online payment post to my account?

Payments initiated before 6:00 pm ET Monday–Friday will be effective on your VSAC account the next business day. Payments initiated after 6:00 pm ET Monday–Friday or on a weekend will be effective the second business day.

For example, if you make a payment before 6:00 pm on Friday, it will appear on your MyVSAC account after 4:00 pm on Monday; if the payment is made after 6:00 pm on Friday, or over the weekend, you'll see it in MyVSAC after 4:00 pm on Tuesday.

You may view your transaction history in the LoanPAY™ system to confirm that your payment was initiated.
