Never Miss a Payment. Pay Your Loan by Text.

When life gets busy, it’s easy for a due date to slip your mind. With MessagePay, your loan payment is just a text message away. No searching for the app. No logging into Online Banking first. Just a fast, secure way to pay when you’re short on time.

What Is MessagePay?

Make a payment in minutes, right from a text.

MessagePay is Visionary FCU’s text-to-pay tool for loan payments. Once you’re signed up, we’ll text you when a payment’s coming due, and you can pay in just a few taps without logging into Online Banking first.

  • Get a text reminder before your loan payment is due
  • Pay from checking, savings, or a debit card
  • Skip the login and the search for your account
  • Manage a payment right from your phone, wherever you are

MessagePay Benefits

A missed loan payment can cost you more than a late fee. It can affect your credit, too. MessagePay gives you one more way to stay current, even when life gets hectic.

  • A $5.99 convenience fee per payment, well below a typical $20 late fee
  • Bank-level encryption keeps every payment secure
  • Pay from checking, savings, or a debit card
  • No Online Banking login required
  • A fast way to protect your credit and stay in good standing

Setting Up Your MessagePay Account

You’ll only need to do this once. After your account’s verified, paying by text takes just seconds.

  • Verify Your Account: Enter your account number and date of birth to confirm it’s you.
  • Create a 4-Digit PIN: Choose a PIN you’ll use to verify future payments, and store it somewhere secure.
  • Add a Payment Method: Link a debit card or bank account you’d like to pay from.
  • Start Making Payments: Once you’re verified, paying is as easy as replying to a text.

How MessagePay Works

Once you’re set up, making a payment only takes a few taps.

  • You’ll get a text when your loan payment is due, along with the amount.
  • Reply “Pay” to that text.
  • Enter your 4-digit PIN to verify it’s you.
  • That’s it — you’ll get a confirmation text once your payment goes through.
  • Want to opt out of text alerts? Reply “STOP” at any time.
