Auto Authorization Form PDF Details

The Great Lakes Auto Pay Authorization Form is a two-page document for student loan borrowers who want to automate monthly payments. Completing this form authorizes Great Lakes to withdraw your loan payment directly from a U.S.-based checking or savings account on each due date.

To complete the auto authorization form, you will need your Great Lakes borrower ID, your bank account routing number, and a voided check or savings account deposit slip. Your bank account must be U.S.-based. The form also lets you choose whether to apply any additional payment amounts to a specific loan or spread them across all open accounts.

After mailing the completed form with your voided check, you remain responsible for making manual loan payments until Great Lakes confirms auto pay enrollment in writing. Once confirmed, withdrawals occur automatically each billing cycle. If the withdrawal amount changes, Great Lakes notifies you before the next payment is taken.

You can cancel auto pay at any time by contacting Great Lakes with enough advance notice to avoid a missed payment. For related payment forms, see the ACH authorization form, the loan payment form, or the electronic funds transfer form.
