Paying towards your escrow shortage is like making your monthly payment. See also: How do I make my mortgage payment using digital banking?

You can pay using any checking account opened within the United States. Please note, if you'd like to pay using a checking account that's not on file, you'll need to add it to digital banking first. Review the steps in the "Add a payment account" section below to find out how.
