Simplify. You can manage student loans online with Bank of North Dakota (BND). Whether you’re a borrower or cosigner, there are benefits to creating an online account. 

  • More control with your payments! Schedule a payment the same day or for a future date or set recurring payments with BND to be automatically withdrawn monthly, weekly, or biweekly to fit your needs. Reduce your interest rate by 0.25% when you sign up for recurring payments. 
  • Cosigners can set up automatic payments that only withdraw if the borrower misses their payment. They can also view scheduled payments through their online accounts.

Please note that if you have a variable interest rate loan, the rate and minimum monthly payment amount may change quarterly. When setting up your recurring payments, if you select to pay an “Other Amount” rather than the minimum payment amount, the amount that withdraws from your bank account will not change based on your interest rate or minimum payment amount. If your rate increases, review your account online or contact our office to verify the recurring payment will be enough to satisfy the minimum monthly payment.

  2. Click Manage Backup Payment Plans under Useful Links.
  3. Choose Add Payment Method (if none exist).
