We will scan the documents to you if there are only a few documents. Otherwise, please have your applicant send everything to you directly.

Q: Do you offer Direct Deposit?

A: Security Mortgage does not currently offer Direct Deposit. Our payroll company (Paychex), processes our payroll every 2 weeks but because we offer same Day / Next day pay to our Loan Officers, payroll checks are issued in house manually which is the reason that we do not currently offer Direct Deposit .

Many of our Loan officers use Remote Deposit which is the process of uploading a picture of your check into your banks mobile app and the funds are then deposited into your account. Although many of the larger banking institutions do have this service there are some that do not. Please check with your banking institute if you are interested in the remote deposit option.

**Expense checks cannot use the remote deposit option.

Q: How will I receive my payroll check?

A: Once your payroll check has been issued you can opt to have it 1.) mailed to you via regular US Mail 2.) A copy of the check emailed to you for remote deposit 3.) Pick up from our Michigan office or 4.) supply a UPS Shipping label so that the check may be shipped to you overnight at your expense.

Q: How can I obtain a copy of my check stubs & W2’s

A: You can access your Pay stubs and W2’s by visiting https://myapps.paychex.com . Once you sign up for an account, you will be able to view your entire payroll history as well as your income documents. You will also be able to update/correct your contact information.

Q: How long does it take for payroll to be issued on my closing?

A: Payroll is issued within 48-72 hours after closing once ALL 3 of the following items have been completed:
