The start of a new year brings fresh opportunities to strengthen your financial future. At LendCare, we understand that balancing loan payments with savings goals requires practical solutions that work for your lifestyle. We're here to help you take that important step forward. 


Why Make Extra Payments? 

Every extra payment you make goes directly toward reducing your loan’s principal balance, which in turn lowers your future interest charges. This creates a snowball effect that accelerates your journey to becoming debt-free.

Whether you’re adding a little extra each month or making occasional larger payments, every dollar counts. Your commitment to taking control of your finances is commendable, and we’re here to support your momentum. Together, we can turn your financial goals into reality in 2025.


Three Secure Ways to Make Extra Payments

We’ve made it easy and secure for you to make additional payments. Choose the method that works best for you: 

1. Sending an E-Transfer :  E-transfers are a fast, hassle-free option to make a payment. Follow these steps:

  • Log in to your bank’s online banking platform and select the e-transfer option. 
  • Use the following payment details: 
    • Recipient Email: [email protected] 
    • Password: No password required 
    • Message Field: Include your Loan Number and First and Last Name 
  • Take a screenshot of the transfer confirmation and email it to [email protected]
    • Subject Line: Loan Number, First and Last Name. 
  • After submitting your payment, our team will contact you via email or phone within 48 to 72 hours to confirm and finalize the payment.

2. Bank Deposits: In-Person Service: If you prefer to visit a branch, you can deposit your payment directly into our account. Here’s how to do it:

  • Visit any BMO branch and inform the teller that you’d like to make a deposit into the following account: 
    • Bank: BMO 
    • Account Number: 1658880 
    • Transit Number: 00022 
  • Ask the teller to include your Loan Number on the deposit slip. 
  • Take a photo of the deposit slip as proof of payment. 
  • Email the photo to [email protected] with the subject line: Loan Number, First and Last Name. 
  • After submitting your payment, our team will contact you via email or phone within 48 to 72 hours to confirm and finalize the payment.

3. Add LendCare as a Payee: We've established secure payment channels with major Canadian banks. These banks allow you to send payments by adding us as a payee. If your bank supports this option, here’s what you need to know:

  • Use These Payee Names:  
    • LendCare Financial Services for BMO, CIBC, Tangerine, and President’s Choice. 
    • LendCare Capital for RBC and National Bank. 
  • Once added, extra payments are just a click away. 


Important Tips for Making Extra Payments 

To ensure a smooth payment process, keep these tips in mind: 

  • Provide Accurate Details: Always include your Loan Number and First and Last Name in all payment communications. 
  • Retain Proof of Payment: Save screenshots or photos of your payment confirmations (e.g., e-transfer confirmations or deposit slips) until your payment is verified. 
  • Double-Check Everything: Confirm that all payment details are accurate before completing your transaction to avoid delays.
