How to Make a Payment
We Have Options for you to Make a Payment Anytime, Anywhere.
Payment Allocation
For more information on payment allocation, please visit Nelnet.com/how-payments-are-allocated
Auto Debit
Never miss a payment. When you sign up for auto debit, your payment is automatically deducted from the bank account of your choosing. Plus, you could even save on your interest rate* while your account is in an active repayment status!
*Your lender may modify or terminate its borrower benefit program at its discretion and without prior notice. Your failure to satisfy benefit eligibility requirements may result in the loss of the benefit.
Online
Log in to your Nelnet.com account to get the latest information on your student loans. You can check due dates, make a payment, set up auto debit, explore repayment options, and set up authorized payers.
Via Mail
Mail your payment using the address located on your statement. Make sure that you include your Nelnet account number, including the “D, J, or E”, so that your payment is processed in a timely manner and correctly applied to your accounts.
Online Bill Pay
Use your bank's online bill pay service (make sure they don't charge a fee). You'll just need to give them the Payee (Nelnet), your account number, and the payment address, which is the P.O. box address on the bottom of your statement.
